LR Poetry Anthology 2022
all of our favorite poems
I’m excited to share the first Lucky Rigatoni Poetry Anthology! Thank you for sharing some of your favorite poems with me. You held me accountable to my goal of reading more poetry this month. The world feels kind of terrible this week. Maybe this is when we need art the most. So I hope you find comfort or meaning in a poem in this little collection. Today I volunteered at the Farmers Market and now I sit at the counter with a tub of green olives while Andrew cooks dinner. I think he believes this is a form of punishment, working on my laptop while he cooks for us. But this is a step for me, to see my writing as work. If he works on his laptop most evenings while I cook for us, maybe Tuesday is my laptop at the counter with olives day. Don’t worry, I will absolutely be washing up. Tell me what poem sticks with you, or what you’re reading, or how you’re coping, or what your plans are for the holiday weekend.
Talk soon, K
