Joan, I'm so glad to hear that this collection spoke to you. This season has been a challenging one for me as well, so I'm so grateful to everyone who helped create this community edition -- these poems have been a lifeline for me to read this fall as well 🤍🤍

Yarghhhh..I really needed that line 'Do not tax their lives with the forethought of grief' for what I was trying to convey today in my post. Well, better late than never! Thanks for sharing this with me.

So beautiful - thank you for always delivering such delight to our inboxes. I love these words and the art. Can I ask you an art question? How do you put pictures in your Substack that look like they're drawn right on the page? Mine always look like I transferred a photo (which I did but the background is never flush white). And on that same note, how did you put "Dandelion Seeds" on your header - like it's drawn? I love that, and I've tried many times, but again, the problem is it looks like a poorly taken photo instead of drawn right on the page...thank you so much...
