Up until lately, I had to say that I was not a published poet, but now I can say that I have published writings!
I was offered a merit-based scholarship a little over a year ago to be part of a group of unknown and for the most part, unpublished writers. There would be thirteen of us, making up The Baker's Dozen. We were to submit already written works to be made into our own mini book and compiled to make up
THE BAKER'S DOZEN
The Cole Foundation Collection: Volume II.
Our volume of mini-books is now available at:
Barnes and Noble.com
AND
Amazon.com
AND
Authorhouse.com
For those of you who do enjoy poetry, I'm having a giveaway!
I'm giving away a copy of THE BAKER'S DOZEN to one person.
Leave a comment at this post and in about a week I will choose randomly from among the comments. To make this just a little more inviting, along with the book will come a Vera Bradley candle to enjoy while reading.
If you are not a blogger, don't forget to leave an email address.

Oh! Congratulations! This is a wonderful thing! So far, my only claim to print has been a poem I wrote in one of th Chicken Soup For the Soul books! But since I got paid, does that count as being published? I hope so! : )
You should be so proud...congratulations again!
Hugs,
Sue

Well I think I'd rather have a copy of your book than the red Mustang - I can snuggle up in my duvet with hort chocolate and enjoy reading your poems - much nicer than driving out in this cold weather!!
Deborah - have a great time with Leah - I'll e-mail you later.
Hugs - take care - Mary.
