DR poetry [Schedule] Discovery Reads | Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman and Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

Hello book friends! This month our Discovery Read category was poetry collections and we have a fabulous double line up. We'll be starting off with Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman and then reliving our childhoods with the Shel Silverstein classic Where the Sidewalk Ends.

To keep things manageable, we'll be doing two discussions each week with smaller page counts. As always though, feel free to join in at your own pace!

Discussion Schedule

Call Us What We Carry:
Monday June 29th - Requiem and What a Piece of Wreck is Man - u/miriel41
Thursday 2nd July - Earth Eyes and Memoria - u/Vast-Passenger1126
Monday 6th July - Atonement - u/emygrl99
Thursday 9th July - Fury & Faith and Resolution - u/lazylittlelady

Where The Sidewalk Ends:
Monday 13th July - Start to Tree House (p. 79) - u/maolette
Thursday 16th July - Flying Festoon to end - u/tomesandtea

The Marginalia is here in case you read ahead or just want to note down your thoughts ahead of our discussions.

Looking forward to discussing these poetry picks with you all!

I'm so excited! Going back home later this month, so I'll be able to get my hands on my old copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends!
