I would want a memoir from EA Poe after he was dead. I want to know exactly what happened to him on the last day of his life. Why was he disheveled and wearing clothes that didn't fit him? Did he have rabies? Was the famous author killed from a beating? From carbon monoxide poisoning? From alcohol withdrawal? Cooping? Brain tumor? Flu? Murder? #theafterlifememoir 😀

This book makes me want to start my own tradition of sending valentines poems to my friends. This book was a quick read, both charming and lighthearted. I loved it and fully intend to reread it again and again. ♥️

This afternoon‘s poetry choice. I got the bookmark from a local artist at a ComiCon earlier today. I‘d never been to a ComiCon before, and this one was fairly small, but I actually thought that was a good thing, since it wasn‘t as much of an overload for all my senses. I‘m glad I went, even if the experience overall was underwhelming.

I have three copies of this poetry collection—thanks to my mother. I used to pore over her copy (top right) for hours when I was in elementary school/jr. high. She eventually got me a copy of my own (the one at the bottom of the be-ribboned book stack). She later bought me another copy (top left), forgetting she‘d already gotten me one! My mom passed away two years ago, and now I have all three—it‘s difficult to part with any! #SundayFunday

It's not a great picture, but here is the poem dispensary. Each jar is filled with capsules, which are each filled with a few lines of poetry. You can choose your prescription, like love, comfort, carpe diem, be original, boredom, etc.
