Poems For My People: Community, Volume 3 is a special collection of poems written exclusively for individuals while in Yellow Bike Coffee in Duluth, Minnesota. Owner Shannon Cornelius and all her staff and baristas, have been tremendous support and encouragement to collaborative creativity. I’m thrilled and full of gratitude for our continued caffeinated and poetic partnership.

This is a hardcover keepsake to be read aloud and enjoyed for years to come.

• 109 poems written in a primarily live setting whilst performing typewriter poetry busking
• Many poems written for and uniquely specific to a particular person according to their request for a poem; vulnerably authentic prayer poems; atmospheric poems inspired by Yellow Bike Coffee.
• This unique, multisensory book includes a hardcover version and the AV version of all poems.

In these pages you’ll find moments of grief and pain, glimpses of joy shared, whispers of hope for the future, powerful declarations to persevere, and even giggles of nonsense and silliness that offer the full spectrum of human emotion.

I hope and pray this collection of poems for my people is at least a fraction of the gift to you to read and experience, as it has been for me to create the offering of Beauty for each of these 109 poems and each of the fearfully and wonderfully created humans who inspired me to write them.
