Nancy Bo Flood - Go Fish

[Greg Pincus]

Go Fish

Jump in

Duck

Under

Mask on

Blow bubbles out your snorkel

Flutter kick with webbed feet

Gaze at turtles, sharks – look, a whale!

A bathtub can be

As big

As the deep blue sea

I am going to go to the tub tonight, I tell you, and see if I can experience what Nancy Bo Flood imagines. I love the whole idea of there being huge worlds contained where we wouldn't expect them... and where it's up to us to find them.

While I've mentioned many poets and their books this month, this time I want to encourage you to pre-order Nancy Bo Flood's newest book, I Will Dance. Why? So many reasons, but I'll pick two. 

One: here's the blurb - Eva longs to dance. She doesn't know what dance looks like for someone who uses a wheelchair. But she is determined "not to imagine, not to pretend, and not along, I want to dance."  

Two: author royalties on pre-orders will be donated to Young Dance All-Abilities Student Scholarship Fund. Check out this 60 second peek, if you'd like.

OK, fine. Three: lovely, lovely writing! So go forth and do your best....
