Yesterday,
Yesterday, franki22 wrote about little surprises; today, I received one!
One of my work friends, Kathy C., surprised me with a gorgeous book of poetry. It was the perfect way to end a week of standardized testing that felt more like two weeks.
Kathy and I often give each other book recommendations, and we have talked about starting a book club at school but haven’t followed through.
I told her I joined a poetry writing group at my local library, and she told me she reads a poem every night before going to sleep. Kathy bought herself the same book of poetry, so maybe we could have a poetry club to discuss poems instead of a book club.
As I said, it has been a long week, and that poetry anthology awaits me downstairs. That makes for a short Friday night post.

That’s going to be amazing. I hope it brings you a lot of joy and provides inspiration for your writing life.

Receiving a thoughtful gift like this is really the best feeling. And what a lovely anthology that must be — I always love the wide variety of poems in the New Yorker. Enjoy!
