long after the love evaporated.

Celebrating National Poetry Month
Free books of poetry! Hey, you don’t see that often, do you? Here at the blog, I am celebrating poetry, not only by offering the poetry boot camp and providing excerpts of my own poetry from my latest book, Weathered Fragments, Weathered Souls,
I would also like to share the gift of poetry.
So, I am giving away one signed copy of both of my books, plus other poetry books I have enjoyed. Free. What is the catch? This is a contest, so I can’t give books to everyone (would love to, if I could), but I will do a drawing to determine who will get the books. I will have at least 3 prize books, but if there is enough participating, I will add more.
How do I enter, you ask? Easy.
#1 Like any posts from this month (April). This includes the blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
#2 Double entries if you Share, Retweet, or Press This (via WordPress).
Winners chosen around the first of May. Winners will be posted and notified. You have 7 days to claim before I redraw.
Sound good!
Let’s celebrate poetry!
