Motivated by the sentiment that gratitude should be expressed year-round, Paul collects poems as varied in form as content.Myles' colorful digitally rendered illustrations help contextualize the poems, saturated, often abstract backgrounds complementing neatly outlined, diverse figures.Lovely lyric lessons in appreciating the ordinary. In her editorial debut, Paul (Nine Months: Before a Baby Is Born, 2019, etc.) pairs over 30 poems with Myles' (Spirit Lake Dakota/Mohegan/Muscokee Creek) spirited illustrations capturing favorite things for which the nearly three-dozen poets represented here are thankful. "THANKU" in advance for your support!Īn excerpt from the July 15th issue of Kirkus:Īn anthology of diverse voices united by the theme of giving thanks. THANKU: POEMS OF GRATITUDE will be available through online booksellers and can be ordered through your local bookstores beginning September 3rd. Please consider purchasing a copy of THANKU! This book will be a wonderful addition to your personal picture book collection and would also make an excellent contribution to any classroom library. We are currently planning two book signing events in the Charlotte area and are excited to have four contributors in one place!Ī portion of the proceeds from THANKU: POEMS OF GRATITUDE will go to We Need Diverse Books, a “non-profit and a grassroots organization of children’s book lovers that advocates essential changes in the publishing industry to produce and promote literature that reflects and honors the lives of all young people.” For more information, please here. I cannot tell you what an honor it is for my poetry to be included in this book alongside authors I have long admired, such as Jane Yolen, Vanessa Brantley-Newton, Renee LaTulippe, Sylvia Liu, Cythia Leitich-Smith, and SO MANY others! I am also thrilled that three of my local critique group members also have poetry in this anthology-Chrystal Giles, Megan Hoyt, and Vanessa Brantley-Newton. The poems I contributed to THANKU are math poems-one of my favorite types of poetry-which I discussed in three posts in the past (on you can find these here, here, and here ).
