Happy National Poetry Month!

We're celebrating at Literary Mama!

Five fresh poems contemplate the writer's life, from creating our own language, watching our children make their mark, to reimagining a poetic (and cultural) icon. 

This group speaks to my heart; I am always partial to writing about writing.

Sylvia Plath's Last Motherly Acts

For more poetic inspiration, Literary Mama's editors (including me!) recommend books of poetry in April's Essential Reading. Happy Poetry Month!
