Kiss Me Goodnight

April is National Poetry Month here in the US.

Isabella is blushing as she shamelessly plugs a book in which three of her poems were recently published.

Go here to Amazon to read about "Kiss Me Goodnight":

The book received a great review in the Minneapolis Star Tribune (the two editors who worked so diligently to get it published are from Minneapolis) in February. It would have been smart had I copied and saved the review instead of saving the URL, which no longer exists. I guess it's been archived in the Star-Trib. But it was a really good write-up.

I am truly honored to be among the fine poets and prose writers included in this anthology.

Five of the poets are from New England, and we will be giving a reading from the anthology on Saturday, May 7, 2 pm, at the Barnes and Noble Book store in Hadley, Mass.

And while I speak of poetry, I also want to plug a book for a close friend, Naomi Feigleson-Chase, "Gittel, The Would-Be Messiah."

Go here to Amazon to read about it: http://tinyurl.com/dj5ut

And here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Naomi+Feigelson-Chase&btnG=Google+Search to read about Naomi.

This is National Poetry Month. So please, everyone, go out and buy a book of poetry, then sit in your favorite chair, or under a gentle maple and read it.

"Poetry--the shorthand of beauty." --Mel Brooks, as the 2,000-Year-Old-Man.
