April

In April: 30 Poems Tom Driscoll shares a collection of poems evolved across the month of April in 2021 writing in response to prompts shared by poet and teacher Jan Hutchinson. From 'About These' : Jan sends out these seeds and her community of fellow poets they are the various gardens or gardeners. This April: 30 Poems is simply my crop the result of my answering every prompt this year 2021. I haven't lived with these a long time yet. Some may be forced flowers -and that's a problem so I've been told. But I do know that compelling these answering poems these various responses has given me more than a few gifts. In at least trying to write them down I've found things I wouldn't have even looked for left to my own devices.
