Helga Kidder, one of our CWG founders, has a new book called Listen to Your Own Song.
Join her at the Soddy-Daisy Community Library tomorrow at 6:30 PM for her book release. This wonderful collection of poems was inspired by the fortune-telling nursery rhyme, “Monday’s child is fair of face” and ending with “Sunday’s child is happy and gay.” It has seven sections of ten poems each that explore the rhymes in personal experiences and natural landscapes. This collection guides you to find your own journey into imagination.
Copies of Listen to Your Own Song will be available for purchase for $18 each during the event, and Ms. Kidder will be signing after speaking. She will be able to accept correct cash, check, or Venmo payments.
