Book Party! “Worth Remembering: The Poetry of Our Heritage”
A cozy group of old pals gathered in my father’s parlor on our home place to celebrate the birth of our newest poetry book. Visiting, a brief reading, and home baked refreshments crowned the the afternoon.
In addition to Pop and me, three of the poets featured in “Worth Remembering: The Poetry of Our Heritage (a family and friends poetry anthology)” were there to listen as my father read their poetic contributions.
Pop chose to include family and friends in this anthology rather than just his own poems. This choice reflects his drive towards creating connections, community, and his love of collaboration.
Everyone there was connected by family and local history. We know each other Way Back. These were the folks Pop chose to receive complimentary copies.
This sounds very friendly and nice! I think book parties will be the most memorable thing one can do in one’s community. And they are inspiring too!
