Debut Poetry & Art Book!!!
Melba Toast Butterfly:
A Poem a Day for a Year
A Poem a Day for a Year
When a poet makes a decision to write a poem a day for a year, you get a lot of random poems inspired by a variety of random things... Verses about love, loss, life, and sometimes even about a lack of inspiration. What started as an exercise in poetic expression turned into the freshman literary project from a small-town artist with big dreams of touching the world, or at the very least a single soul, with the wordplay constantly stirring in her mind. Could you be that soul?
Ordered an unsigned copy here!

This is one of my high school English teachers who was a big supporter of mine when I was a teenager. It was so wonderful to have her support and to be able to thank her for providing the support I needed back then.
