Found online this week: Marty McConnell
I was already aware of Marty McConnell before this past week — indeed, I nearly had a fangirl-induced heart attack when she followed me on Twitter a while back! — but an idle Youtube search revealed a bunch of new poems of hers that I’d never seen before. I insist that you stop what you’re doing, go make a cup of tea and sit down to listen to this stuff, because it’s that good — you might want some Kleenex handy, though.
Don’t forget to visit The Read This Store, and its sister store, Edinburgh Vintage!
