This weekend is one devoted to family but I happened upon a beautiful scene that inspired me to write while pondering my journey in life. I am also trying to organize my upcoming gallery, Springsations. Thanks for your notice of our new poet laureate. I did read about that recently but enjoyed reading some of her poems and the Times article that you provided.

(Have been far away on vacation including hikes in British Columbia.) It will be a gift this weekend to return here for all your nourishing links about Ms. Smith. "The Good Life" is immediately potent & her style seems accessible while providing much to ponder. I am so eager to begin to get to know her work.<br />Appreciations for hosting Poetry Friday & hugs to everyone for a great Father's Day Weekend. ~ Jan<br /><br />p.s. At Bookseedstudio I have a previous blog still holding, with expectation that this weekend I can put a short piece up about a new to me Canadian poet and his new book. I am writing my verse novel, after being away from it a bit, so that's my news.
