April: 30 Poems

In "April: 30 Poems" Tom Driscoll shares a collection of poems evolved across the month of April in 2021 writing in response to prompts shared by poet and teacher, Jan Hutchinson. From About These: "Jan sends out these seeds and her community of fellow poets, they are the various gardens, or gardeners. This "April: 30 Poems" is simply my crop, the result of my answering every prompt this year, 2021. I havent lived with these a long time yet. Some may be forced flowers -and thats a problem, so Ive been told. But I do know that compelling these answering poems, these various responses, has given me more than a few gifts. In at least trying to write them down, Ive found things I wouldnt have even looked for, left to my own devices."
