I'm a Published Poet! (COVER REVEAL for "The Life of a Writer Anthology")
Updated: Aug 3
Yes, you read that title right! I'm so grateful and excited to be a part of this amazing collection of poetry compiled by my friends and fellow authors, Erin Hylands and Eowyn Bolivett.
I've had poems published in the past, but this feels more... official, for lack of a better word. I've been writing poetry longer than I've been writing novels, and having five of my poems featured in this anthology is such a dream come true for me. I can't wait for you all to read and learn more about the book! 😌
ABOUT THE BOOK
In the second volume of Poems, Prose and Verse, you’ll find a delightful assortment of poems written by writers of all ages. Plus, an awesome bonus of interviews with more than twenty authors.
ABOUT THE EDITORS
When she’s not reading, Erin Hylands spends her time crocheting, writing, and with her family. Naturally, she spends quite a lot of time writing fantasy and contemporary fiction. She has grown to also love reading and writing historical fiction as well. She is the author of With Eyes of Blue, Mary, Queen of Scots: A Shakespearean-Style Play, and Fairy Tales Made Modern Volume 1. You can find Erin on the blog she shares with fellow young author Cari Legere. https://twofriendsonepen.wixsite.com/twofriendsonepen
Eowyn Bolivette is a young author, graphic designer, and publisher! Her first published anthology is Poems, Prose and Verse: a poetry and pictures anthology, the first book in this series! She enjoys walks, talking with friends, and highlighting her Bible (it’s the best!). You can find her online by subscribing to her email list at thetwirlypen.ck.page
And now... the moment you've all been waiting for...
THE COVER
let it be
that the letters beneath
my fingertips
arrange themselves according
to the story you breathe
let it be
that endless of imaginings and
my dreams
choreographs a dance
to your symphony
let it be
that my strivings cease entirely
my King
sing the words
and I will pen the melody
let it be
beautiful and sweet to thee
my heart
shapes sentences
to ignite or set a child free

LET'S TALK
Do you write poetry? Who is your favorite poet (I think Emily Dickinson is mine 🥰)? Are you having a lovely summer so far? I'd love to hear from you in the comments!
Sorry I'm late to the party. A big congratulations, Ava!!! I'm so excited for you! (I don't write poetry, but I love Emily Dickinson's Hope is the Thing With Feathers.)

I write poetry as well, though probably not as much as you. XD When I was younger I wrote humorous poems. But now I write poems that express my thoughts and feelings. For favorite poet, I've always loved Jack Prelutsky's work!!
