My dad read the hobbit to me when I was 9 or so and "too old" to be read too. I will never forget it. He did a great Smaug.

I am also a poet who did not go to grad school. Would you like me to read your sequence? My qualifications are Boys for Pele and a box of 80s and 90s XMen comic books that are under my bed.

I didn't feel like there was a bug learning curve. But I didn't use all the features. You can put your poems in as sections and then reorder them by dragging and dropping.

I bought a tarot deck about 6 months ago to use for poetry prompts, and since then I have started pulling cards. I've been thinking lately about how tarot uses similar parts of your brain as writing poems.
