Oh my word, Megan!. What a delightful and charming gift to read this review and mention of my book. Thank you so much for featuring the title poem from Mining the Bright Birds. I appreciate so much that you shared this with your readers. And the rainbow crow illustration is perfect.

What a beautiful poem, Jody!

Megan, thank you for sharing this and the invitation with us.

"settle and sit, sip and settle,

welcome the daytime darkness,

mining the bright birds."

Happy to share, Jody.

My collaborator in painting and poetry, Nan Henke, thanks you for the compliment on the illustration. She makes my stuff look so good!

Just have to say too, I am forever vacillating about my own writing as well. ;)

For sure! And I agree too that it is much easier to feel resolute about how wonderful someone else's writing is.
