Now that was something I had experience with. ![]() But on the application, I saw that as PL I would be able to host my own events and do community outreach. I never considered myself much of a poet. And applications for the next PL were open! Apparently, Mount Vernon, Iowa, is the smallest city in the country to have its own Poet Laureate. Fast forward several years, and I noticed something interesting on the city website for Mt. When the book was full, I picked my favorites and self-published on lulu. I thought, “This is a book that a lady of leisure would write her little poems in.” So I started messing around with different forms like ballads and villanelles. I actually began writing poetry because I bought this really cute and insanely dainty little notebook at Versailles with Marie Antoinette on the cover. When I wrote the poems I ended up including in my collection Rustle, I never intended to publish them. ![]()
