For a mere minute or two a day you can be taken on a lively poetic journey to places you've already experienced-seen in a different light-to where we all stand now (be ready to be surprised)-and to exhilarating possibilities that lie ahead. This book offers you a year of literary engagement, day-by-day, that comes together in the end as if you have read an entire fresh, distinctive, narrative book. Odds are it will leave you "twinkling."
