for yourself or for someone you respect and love
Just the other night, I rediscovered my copy of James Merrill’s poetry collection, The Changing Light at Sandover. It’s a wonderful book, both for its language and for its at-times reverent, at-times tongue-in-cheek ouija board channeling of dead poets. But there was a rediscovery inside the rediscovery: the poet’s witty signing on the title page.
This to share and to lead in to a pitch for poet-signed books available at Circling Rivers. Visit our bookstore to get a genuinely unique and heartful gift for yourself or for someone you respect and love.
