In today’s video, you’ll hear some question poems from our wonderful community of poets; you’ll hear poems from Tracy K Smith, former US Poet Laureate and winner of the Pulitzer Prize; you’ll hear a little bit about Grace and Zsuzsanna, who founded and run Jumping Fox Design; I offer you a Spark and a Dare and I share my own poem sparked by an odd but resonant word: “crepuscular.”

1. Next week, I’ll draw out the names of two lucky poets who will each win a Jumping Fox Design journal. To enter, please send your poems to me by Sunday, 26 April at 5 pm to kate@katechadbourne.com. I read every poem and love receiving them!

2. If you take me up on this week’s Dare and choose a Poet Patron or a Poem Patron, would you kindly let us know who or what it is? Please share in the comments below, on my blog, or in an email.

3. Just to say, too: even if you don’t win one of the two journals, I have a present for every poet who participates. When I’m not wielding my poet’s pen, I love to wield the wand of the Fairy Godmother.

4. Finally, I’d be very grateful if you’d give this video a thumbs up and share it with your poetry-loving friends. Also, if you like this sort of thing, I’d be thrilled if you’d subscribe to my channel. Thank you, friends, for your encouragement and support!
