These books aren't going to read themselves.

The ideas and words flowed and I wrote everything down. And then one day, it felt done.

What a strange group of poems. I thought they need their place in the world.

Thus entered a new book, Dream Receipts.

I liked what I had written. It felt distinctly my voice, but didn’t seem to fit into my other stuff.

I let it sit but kept coming back to it. How do I write more like this?

What if I just kept going back to Japan for inspiration?

What if I went there in my mind and stayed?

One night, lying in bed, I thought how strange it is that places just exist apart from me. That they are places I have only seen through photographs, movies or read of in #books but are real and functioning without me.

I thought of #japan . Murakami drawn me in. And the fashion, and culture, and food.

I wrote this #poem :

Imagine a scratch-n-sniff sticker you could put on your ereader that smells like old books. 📖

Is anyone making this?

What's the best smelling book on your shelf?

New here to Mastodon! I am a poet and writer with a few books available online. Would love to connect!
