Poems by L.L. Barkat to be Published

7 Comments 13 November 2009

Today on her blog, L.L. Barkat posted four possible covers for her book of poems, and then casually mentioned that her poems were going to be published by the International Arts Movement.

In journalism class, we called that backing into the lead.

This needs a SHOUT OUT – one of our fellow Tweet Partiers is getting her poems published! This is a BIG DEAL, L.L.! CELEBRATE! This calls for CHAMPAGNE and CHOCOLATE, at least of the virtual kind.

So check out her post – see the great covers displayed there – and congratulate our friend.

On Notice of “To Be Published”

These words from stones, //From a life lived, // From bits of data, //Infinitesimally small, // To pages shed by woods, // Cycled and recycled to use // For beauty, // Encouragement, // Inspiration; // To help us see // What is there, // And to savor the life // Of the // Infinitesimally // Large.

Glynn, I am so honored that you wrote a celebratory poem! And such a lovely one too. Some day we must do the chocolate and wine with everyone, face to face. Promise?

nAncy, you are always so kind.

Lovely poem for L.L., Glynn.

I’ve been dancing for days at the thought of it: L.L.’s poems! Bound! On paper! Beside my bed! published by IAM!

Isn’t that thought pure bliss?

Rejoicing with you all!
All’s grace,
Ann

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
