There are, of course, other words that have influenced me this year - from students, the May Day Poetry Project, fellow bloggers, and, the bearers of bad news and better news. I was touched by quite a few of the above titles; if I had to pick a must-read, I think it would be Alice Sebold's "The Almost Moon". She is clearly not a one-book wonder!

Wow, impressive! For a second, I thought this was literally going to be a list of words that impacted you. Maybe I'll write a poem like that... xo
I look forward to reading it!
Yes.. can you tell I have a thing for words?
