Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee: Erin Pringle reads good poems by other people

Tea Time, photograph by Mark Notari, used under creative commons license

On Thanksgiving morning of 2020, I read good poems by other people while we drank coffee (on my Facebook page). I have since continued doing this every Sunday morning 7-7:15 AM (Pacific Time).

And as I foresee doing this an innumerable number of Sundays, I figure it's time to have a standing invitation.

Therefore, no matter your time zone or level of wakefulness, you are cordially invited to join me every Sunday for coffee and good words.
