today, news, not blues will be donating its second book of contemporary poetry to the boyertown community library. this latest addition to the library is blue ruby by heather thomas who recently finished her term as the third poet laureate of berks county. thomas is a professor of english at kutztown university.
this hand-bound book tied along its spine with delicate black string from kanona, new york's foothills publishing joins the library's shelves fittingly, as october is reading reads: the greater reading literary festival, and thomas' former poet laureateship is sponsored by reading area community college.
and this kindly penned thank you ! is from the packaging of the book when it shipped down to pennsylvania from the publisher.
please check out the book in the next few weeks, as it's well worth some eye-attention and supports readership with an inspirational local writer.
one of our next stories coming up in the 15 october 2010 volume of news, not blues is an introspective look at thomas' watch on the poetry store for the past two years. eye-gulp it here and in print next week !
That's great!
