Monthly Updates
Since August, 2018, I have sent a monthly update summarizing the prior month’s reading, providing links to poems on the Poetry Tree on the Charles, and more recently, recommending one, two, or three books for your reading. These updates are now available to you by clicking on any of these links. I hope that this allows you to visit some of my favorites from the past.
