Gold, Gold, Gold: She Got It

By T.S. Poetry 3 Comments

14-k-gold-secret giveaway by Tweetspeakpoetry.com

Our latest title, The Whipping Club, made the Oprah Summer Reading list last week. Such a golden moment! So we decided to give away some gold.

The lucky winner for our gold giveaway? (And she worked hard, entering multiple poems). Ellen EtCetera is the winner, chosen at random.

Now, Ellen, just tell us which gold you want, and we’ll send it your way.

There’s still a little win for others too, if you want to get The Whipping Club for just $2.99 on Kindle, for one more week only.

Thanks for celebrating with us. That’s golden too. 🙂

Check out The Whipping Club, by Deborah Henry!

    I was enjoying a burrito for lunch and kept thinking, “I won the necklace. I bet I won the necklace.” The rational side of my brain insisted that it was statistically unlikely that I should win, however, and there was no email notification, but still, I popped over to the website and … NO! … Really??? … YES! This career bookseller had won the lovely necklace!
    I immediately texted my husband, one of my sisters, and my sophisticated niece, asking for advice. The consensus was to pick “the plainer one with no diamonds.”
    So exciting!
    Persistence and luck, and not merit, were the relevant factors, but I’m still going to tell people that I won the necklace in a poetry contest — better than most poets do in a lifetime — not to mention that I enjoyed the contest greatly.

    Many thanks; can’t wait to see my “gold medal”!

    Also, as I posted on the Tweetspeak Facebook page:

    It has been quite a dizzying thrill to win this beautiful piece. I work for an indie bookstore, and I tell people, “There’s more to our poetry section than just Mary, Billy, and Rumi — let me show you!”

    While what I call “the Big Three” probably account for 75% of our poetry sales (for which we are very grateful), I love introducing people to Jack Gilbert, Wislawa Szymborska, David Whyte, Basho, and other astonishing talents.

    Ellen, we hope you’ll share some pictures when the necklace arrives! 🙂

    I’m laughing at the Big Three, thinking that this sounds like a poem title for Maureen Doallas’s hand…

    “Mary, Billy, and Rumi”
