Hi everyone,
The Illinois Poet Laureate is my guest today on Poetry from Daily Life. ANGELA JACKSON has been writing poetry since she was a little girl. Today the multi-talented Chicago-based writer serves her state as its spokesman for poetry. I’m happy to add Angela to the growing list of voices with thoughtful things to tell us about poetry. Here’s the link to her column that appeared yesterday in Springfield (MO) News-Leader. https://www.news-leader.com/story/entertainment/2025/02/09/poetry-from-daily-life-start-with-memory-let-imagination-roam/78260763007/

You know I’m gong to say this because I say it every week: Please share this link with all you know who will also enjoy reading Angela’s words. Her column will be available to more than 105,000 readers this week in six newspapers in three states, but by using your own networks, we reach many more. Thank you Angela Jackson!
