Poems by L.L. Barkat to be Published

By Glynn Young 7 Comments

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.

    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
