The Poetry of Pictures (all the way from Africa!)

Hello, and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit the amazing Diane at Random Noodling for Roundup!

Things are hopping around these parts... our middle son Andrew is graduating from high school this week, my father is here, and I am working every day on a novel-in-progress! All good stuff, but it means less time here at the blog.

So, I offer you something poetry-related that has brought me a great deal of joy this week:

I love telling readers about how DEAR WANDERING WILDEBEEST was inspired by online pics taken by wildlife photographer Greg du Toit. And now I have a gorgeous coffee table book to enjoy every day! Thank you, Greg!



Get your very own copy! SO GORGEOUS. I may have to write a whole new set of poems now. :)

  7. That is so great! Love Greg's cover picture!
    And I received "Dear Wandering Wildebeest" a couple of days ago. Thank you so much. I've enjoyed reading it to myself, and loved the factoids on the opposite pages to accompany the poems. I know that my grandson will enjoy it when I see him this summer! I shall read it to him, but it will remain in "Nannie's Library"!
