I picked this book up for free at ABC Books last Saturday<\/a>, and I’ve been trying to get back into the habit of reading a little poetry every morning, a habit that had fallen by the wayside with the onset of summer and less structured mornings here at Nogglestead. So I picked this book up instead of jumping right back into the Keats.<\/p>\nIt has a dinosaur on the cover, and a number of the poems have fantastic collections of words centering on dinosaurs. To be honest, many of the poems are rather collections of images and words, and I didn’t get a real sense of what they were about. But a couple of the samples were more cohesive, especially when they didn’t involve dinosaurs.<\/p>\n
It looks like the author funded the full book with a Kickstarter campaign<\/a> that raised $1775. Clearly I’m not doing something right here; I self-funded Coffee House Memories<\/em><\/a> and am not yet in the black on it (and probably never will be).<\/p>\n At any rate, Kickstarter campaign materials seem to indicate that poetry is not her main form of creative expression and that she’s just having fun with it perhaps rather than trying to write Serious Literature. Which makes me feel a little better.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I picked this book up for free at ABC Books last Saturday, and I’ve been trying to get back into the habit of reading a little poetry every morning, a habit that had fallen by the wayside with the onset of summer and less structured mornings here at Nogglestead.
