Journey into Poetry
What happens when two dear friends commit to writing 30 poems in 30 days using daily prompts in honor of National Poetry Month? Journey into Poetry: 60 Poems in 30 Days offers one possible answer to that question.
Journey into Poetry is a window into what can be created by finding a way to write a little something every day. It’s a look at two poets’ semi-polished work, shared in the hope that it might inspire others who are curious to just get started.
In addition to the 60 poems they created, the book features more than 120 writing prompts to help spark one’s own imagination and perhaps encourage others to take their own journeys into the wondrous world of poetry.
