New Book Released!!

I'm excited to announce that my latest book - THE BOOK OF NOW - is finally available!

The Book of Now is nonfiction poetry about subject ripped from the headlines. People are talking about these issues - racism, bigotry, politics by xenophobes and hypocrites, international sex slavery, domestic violence and destruction of our natural resources and monuments. These are NOT sweet and timid verses but are raw and blunt and probably controversial (depends on who you are!).

Right now available in print, but in a few weeks the ebook will be available too.

Here's a link to my CreateSpace page:
https://www.createspace.com/6367538

I also have a new blog post up and in it there is a link to listen in to me on the radio!
July 26, 7pm with La Femme de Prose, the radio station with Focus On Women Magazine.
Here's the blog:

You can also call in during the radio session - I'd love to hear from you.

Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry

Why We Need Poetry

Hello and happy National Poetry Month!

I've a new blog post up for today on why we all need to read poetry. It's a changed world out there but poetry still has a bad taste for so many folks. I suggest a change by seeing what's new and why it's relevant to read a good verse or two a day. Plus I share some samples.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/why-w...

Also, my #pinyourpen is up on Instagram. Drop by and check out @thepoetphoenix to see what I'm writing with for the week. And see past weeks too. If we aren't connected yet, give a holler and let's start.

Don't forget to say hi along the way.
Keep reading!
Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry
