I’ve only just discovered Poetry Daily – an anthology of contemporary poetry which each day, brings you a poem from new books, magazines, and journals – straight into your Inbox. Today’s poem is Summer Words of a Sistuh Addict by Sonia Sanchez. What a poem – I just had to keep reading it over and over. Then I clicked on the link to Yona Harvey’s piece about how she is inspired by this poem – great reading…..
