Students - This poem comes from two happenings that have been swirling in my brain this week. The first happening is that I've been working on a new project and hoping that people will feel kindly toward it. The second happening is that our children have been catching Northern rebelly snakes and twirling them around their fingers and hands. Pets and poems. We need to take care of both.
And now, a bit of news. I am very happy to announce the title of my second book with Clarion! WITH MY HANDS: POEMS ABOUT MAKING THINGS is currently under contract, and I could not be more grateful. I am very thankful to both my agent, Elizabeth Harding, and my editor, Dinah Stevenson, for believing in this collection. WITH MY HANDS is dear to me as I believe deeply in the power of working with our hands, the power of making. I will let you know when this pile of typed poems becomes a real holdable book.

Poetry Friday is a special day for those of us who love poetry and visit it all around the Kidlitosphere each week. This is a time when we gather around to celebrate words and each other. I feel lucky to have good friends in here, friends who enrich my life even when they do not know they are doing so. We welcome everyone to join on in, so please enjoy the links below and feel free to leave your own.
Because I will be away for much of the day, I am allowing Mister Linky the pleasure of helping me host. Kindly leave your information below.
I look forward to visiting everyone's blogs throughout the weekend. Happy Poetry Friday!
