tiny happy

Wishing you a peaceful and happy Easter weekend, if you celebrate it where you are. 

This week I learned that Rachel Bush had passed away. She was a celebrated writer who had published a number of poetry collections, but also an English teacher at my former high school.

I remember greatly looking forward to a lunchtime 'writer's group' she arranged at our school, where we could share our own poems and stories and she would encourage us to write more. She really took us seriously, and opened up a world of creative writing for me.

Here is one of her recent poems: All my thoughts would have been of common things.
