Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee (Thanksgiving 2024)

 Today is the fourth anniversary of Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee, which began during the pandemic when many people were not gathering for the holiday in order to preserve the health of others. Thanks to everyone who has continued to listen and who has checked in to hear today's selections. 

Cheers!

Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee (3/24/24)

It has been a hot minute since we last met up for good words by other people, but I'm glad that you've checked back to see if a new edition might be up. It is! It's a rainy day in my part of the world, and we are slogging toward April, but it's officially Spring, so that's a new word to think about being inside.

Poems:

• "Whatever Gets The Hay Down to the Ponies" by Maya Jewell Zeller (from her book Out Takes/Glove Box)
• The Riveter by Ada Limón (from her book Bright Dead Things)
