17th Annual Poetry Round Up at TLA

I'm excited to report that the 17th annual Poetry Round Up session is taking place TODAY during the (virtual) Texas Library Association annual conference. I have a bonanza of NINE poets participating this year:


Each poet read selections from new works and it's so engaging, moving, and inspiring to hear them read aloud their own poems and novels in verse. Plus, it was a ton of FUN! :-) These are the nine poets who participated along with covers of the books they shared. 










I wish I could share some of the video recording of our session together, but that's only for the TLA conference this year. Meanwhile, I can definitely say that you should not miss ALL these wonderful new books by these amazing writers! Now head on over to Reading to the Core where Catherine is hosting Poetry Friday this week.
