WordFarm - Texases

In Texases, his fifth collection of poems, John Poch offers readers a kaleidoscope through which to view his home state--its geography and people, its past and present. Here is a mix of forms (prose poems, formal poems, free verse) and moods (awe, critique, humor) as vast and varied as the Texas landscape.

25 last-minute book gifts to stuff in your favorite reader's stocking

Legible Book of the Week: Rag and Bone, by Lisa Woollett

Legible Book of the Week: Rag and Bone, by Lisa Woollett When I was poking around Legible for a book to connect with our focus on sustainable living this week, I stumbled across the delightful book Rag and Bone, by Lisa Woollett, which isn’t a typical book I would think to read when I want to delve into such topics as climate change, sustainability, and environmental action. The book is more of a history book. Or sometimes a book of natural history. Or it’s a memoir. A book of genealogy. A book
