I've been away at a conference this weekend and am circling back to Poetry Friday now that I am home and settling back into regular life. I so enjoyed what you captured from K.A. Holt's twitter feed. Thank you! At my conference I shared verse books that can do the heavy lifting of history. I've already decided that will be the theme of my post next Poetry Friday. I hope you are warm and cozy soon.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-53582884034822362902018-12-01T17:49:39.917-07:002018-12-01T17:49:39.917-07:00I read House Arrest with you a couple of years ago...I read House Arrest with you a couple of years ago, and I saw Karianne speak at two different sessions at NCTE.

It is pretty cool how there are more novels in verse being written - which reminds me there's a few on my TBR list that I've been wanting to get to. & it might be an interesting thing to attempt to write if I ever decide to get ambitious. This week I've just written a little poem in response to recently moving house.
