Welcome back for the final week of our Poetry Celebration!

In today’s video, you’ll hear some delightful poems from our community of poets (including a visit from our first young poet, Declan); you’ll hear poems from Ted Kooser, former US Poet Laureate, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and a true son of the Midwest; I offer you a Spark and a Dare because we want to keep going, right? I draw out the names of two winners each of whom will receive a Jumping Fox Design journal; and I share my own poem in honor of this month of poetry, writing, and journals: “Jumping Fox.” If your name was not one of the two drawn, please don’t lose heart: all of you who have participated this month will receive a gift from me in the next week.

It has been a pleasure and an honor to share the time with you, dear poet friends. If you’d like to continue to work with me one-on-one, please visit: https://www.katechadbourne.com/the-ba… to read about my mentoring program for writers, or drop me a line at kate@katechadbourne.com to explore the options. As ever, I’d be so grateful if you’d like this video, share it with your poetry friends, and consider subscribing to my poetry/music/and creativity-rich channel for more inspiration and company with me.

Thank you to all of you for creating this April the most festive and satisfying Poetry Celebration I could ever imagine!
