Happy born day to "Old World Wings: Poems of Europe"!
If this book was a baby, she'd arrive with a clove cigarette, passport, cafe au lait, stamped train tickets, and a worn out backpack!

"Felling Trees" by @samanthaterrell.bsky.social is a lovely, authentic weaving of hard lessons into reflective verse. Personal, observant, she pays attention to life's contradictions and mysteries with an unflinching honesty and empathy. @lowhangingfruiter.bsky.social @lowhanginfruit.bsky.social

What a feeling! Seeing your book on the shelf at the local library. 😍

Next time you're at the library check out "American Saunter" and if they don't have it yet, please take a moment to REQUEST it! Huge boost to authors when you do this! Costs nothing. ❤️
