rereading
a few poems
and pages
to hear an
author’s voice

books
to read again
perennials

old books from thrift stores
with their art and history
someone’s name or a library
from a place far away
with an old card

a note written in the book
to encourage someone
or a gift for a special day
books that are new for me
and to read today

Large Print Poems is a site that we began in August 2020. I reprint poems that seem to last over the years, and also new poems in large print.
