National Poetry Month is fast approaching and Kelli Russell Agodon has come up with a great way to celebrate – participating bloggers will give away two books — the first can be your own and the second a favourite book by another author. If you would like to know more on how to participate click here.
The two books I’m giving away are Against the Clock – an anthology written by a group of writers including myself to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society and Mark Doty’s Theories and Apparitions. I believe the latter was only published in the UK- not sure why. It was well received as you can read here
To enter leave a comment on this post and at the end of the month I’ll write down all the names on slips of paper, put them into a bowl, stir them and then draw a name. Then I’ll ship the books to the winner, whoever and where-ever you may be.
Me! I love this idea.
I do, too. This is so much fun! I'm so excited to see so many people fired up about poetry. You can enter my giveaway, too, at Stars in my Sugar Bowl.
me too!

Thanks for doing this give-away! My grandmother had dementia, it was very painful to see. Good to know there is an anthology to raise funds towards Alzheimer's.
Have a great National Poetry Month!

Fun idea–sign me up.
I prize books about Alzheimers since it is still a mystery disease. My father-in-law disappeared with it. I am wodering why we don't register everyone with it in a national DNA registry, photo database, or tatoo them with their caregivers' phone numbers? It is negligent not to. Would like to read your work.
Fantastic idea. Count me in please!
