Emily’s Cat-at-Strophe

Susan Yount’s Poetry Tarot

If it looks as though I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time reading other people’s blogs of late, it’s because I have been. Even so, I felt pretty blessed to come across this post from Kathleen Kirk, at Wait! I Have a Blog?! (As well as the amazing Death tarot card depicting Emily Dickinson.)

The bonus is Kathleen’s link to Cat-at-Strophe, a special poetry and images feature at EIL.

What I’m Reading

Rumi. Toni Morrison’s A Mercy. Claire Cook’s Must Love Dogs. Okay, so my reading list is eccentric…or is that erratic? (I meant eclectic…)

On a whim, a few weeks ago, I checked out what else Claire Cook has written and I downloaded Must Love Dogs: New Leash on Life and Never Too Late: Your Roadmap to Reinvention. Then I followed her advice and visited her website, ClaireCook.com. Now you can, too.

When I attended the Stringtown reading a few weeks ago, I exchanged books with two other poets. A few days later, poet Koon Woon asked if I would like to see a review of my book in the on-line journal Five Willows. I am very, very pleased to share it with you. (Click on the link below.)
