Just in Time for Christmas: Megan Willome's new book!
I've been a Megan Willome fan for a long time-- she's an actual poet who sometimes joins us here for Haiku Friday. I met her when she wrote the profile when I was the 2009 Wacoan of the Year (an award that came with this kooky video). She is a strong and elegant writer, and I have followed her work since.
Plus, the new book has this great blurb from Razor Hero of Writing Bob Darden:
"To read one of Megan Willome's jewel-like poems is to become Leeuwenhoek again, staring in gape-jawed wonder at the tiny "animalcules" swimming in the dish at the end of the first microscope. You're seeing things for the first time. Or maybe you're seeing old things with a new lens. This is elegant, insightful stuff, equally capable of delivering a quick gasp or a gentle chuckle. Yes, please."
So you can get the book anyplace, but I suggest Fabled in Waco (whose co-founder has also been profiled by Megan).
