I fell in love with each and every poem until I started living my life as if it was one of her poems.. I love it 💖

Another great Minnesota poet. I have never seen so many people at a poetry reading. The publication reading for "Happiness" was standing room only. I know I wasn't the only one who went home and wrote a poem following the reading.

I read half of this before and half after another book. Subjects included fathers, babies, religion, death... my fave was "How I Walk," maybe because I know Deborah. Good bunch of poems, DK.
