Poetry readings! Ben Okri, Ruth Padel, Kaveh Akbar, Zeina Hashem Beck, and Tishani Doshi introduced by William Seighart. It was a delight to see everyone reading their works. #JLF2019
Also got to know about Seighart's book 'The Poetry Pharmacy'. So then I went to the bookstore to buy that one, but of course it was sold out. Oh well, i shall soon get my hands on it. 😎
I am NOT a poetry person. I try, and what I like is usually morbid. And not only can I not spell haiku ( TG for auto correct) I usually hate them and don‘t understand them as poetry.
But I believe in supporting teachers, so @TobeyTheScavengerMonk these are for you.

I picked up a bunch of Poetry issues at a pay-what-you-want sale at the library today! Got my eye on doing some giveaways for #poetrychallenge2018 participants at some point. 🤔☺️
Hey @mhillis ! Though of course you can share what you're reading however you please, here is a totally blank "official" #poetrychallenge graphic in case you want to use it. ? I'm just obsessed with this wallpaper pattern. Sometimes even 6 months is too far to plan--I did 6 just because that's how much I could fit in one page. ? #poetrychallenge2018
This is Bokusui Wakayama. He is, or was, a tanka poet. Today, one of my students, who is a nationally-recognized calligraphy artist in Japan, told us that her even more famous 90-something-year-old calligraphy teacher has recently penned (calligraphized?) some of Wakayama's poetry. Ever since googling this image on the poet's Wikipedia page, I've been more than a little smitten by his handsome visage. Don't tell my boyfriend!
