In this little book, I pass along some musings, thoughts, writing prompts, and other notions I've learned by writing with my students in workshops from Oregon to Georgia, Texas, Alaska, Maine, Italy, Scotland, and Bhutan. The book invites writers to create a daily practice for harvesting deft treasures from daily life that may grow into poems, essays, stories, and songs. I've made this book to share as I travel to serve the people of Oregon as poet laureate through May 2020.
