Today’s poem is one I really should’ve shared last year, but I saved it. I don’t know why, but it feels even more appropriate now.
If that weren’t incentive enough, the illustrations by Mehrdokht Amini are stunning works of collage art that matches each poem perfectly. AND there is a quote to match the topic on each spread. This is a book that you need time to read and savor. Seriously.
This collection is so wonderful that I struggled to pick just one poem from it to share. STRUGGLED! I loved so many of them!
And yet, the poem I share here today, the poem I picked out over a year ago, seems the perfect way to start this month: courage.
