Poetry Calendar

This year's Alhambra Poetry Calendar 2010 has arrived just in time for holiday gifts. The calendar comes in five different languages and includes 365 poems by 320 poets. I am delighted to be one of those poets. My poem "How Is a Shell Like Regret?" is the daily poem for September 29.

The poets come from different eras, but the majority are contemporary poets, e.g., Kim Addonizio, Nin Andrews, Denise Duhamel, Stuart Dybek, and Major Jackson. You'll find formal poems and free verse poems and poems on a wide variety of subjects. This is a unique spiral-bound calendar with each poem getting its own day and its own page. The back of the calendar opens up so that the calendar stands upright. Placed on your desk or your bedside table, it offers a great way to begin or end your day every day all year.

Priced at $29.95, this lovely collection is not only a calendar but also an anthology. Visit the website to find the complete list of poets and ordering information. Also can be ordered through Amazon.
