Poetry

In what is sure to be the biggest poetry chapbook of the holiday season, here are all the poems written for #PoemMonday. These were all written by PSB booksellers, especially for the individual orders. Some of them, connect directly to the books that were ordered, while others...drift...a bit from the source material. Enjoy.

We all had a lot of fun coming up with silly rhymes or trying to match the themes of the books that were ordered or handing and emailing poems back and forth, but for me, the real joy came from slowing down. It’s easy, especially at holiday shopping pace, for order processing to become a kind of data entry. As I’m typing in ISBNs and contact information, it’s easy to forget that the ISBN is a book and the contact information is a person.
