Poetry and Picture Books

5/30/2009

There is a direct connection between writing poetry and writing the text of a picture book. In both, every word has to be perfect. In many respects, I think writing a novel is easier. There is so much more room in which to work!

If you would like to read some of my poetry, just go to the poetry section of the Fall 2008 issue of Hamilton Stone Review. This issue of Hamilton Stone Review, an "All-West Virginia" issue, was edited by Meredith Sue Willis, a WV native, who is a terrific author and teacher.   (If you would like to read some of my picture books, check out No Star Nights, Outside the Window, and Golden Delicious:  A Cinderella Apple Story)

If you are looking for intelligent discourse on books or wondering what to read next, I encourage you to subscribe to Meredith Sue Willis's free e-newsletter BOOKS FOR READERS. Just send a blank email to Readerbooks-subscribe@topica.com Thank you, Meredith Sue for ALL you do for readers and writers!
