On May 1, we applaud; open our hearts, and say, “THANK YOU”

Every morning, every day in April, LISA BRENNAN
prepared the daily post that featured 4 poems, 4 poets, and photos. While the words captivated our imagination as
we read them, without the platform for those words and photos to rest upon,
there would not have been a “Four for the Fourth, a global celebration of
2017’s National Poetry Month.” So, it is
fitting for aaduna in association
with “aadunanotes” to give praise where praise is due; to express gratitude,
and say that without LISA
BRENNAN’S spirit, dedication, and willingness to go above and
beyond, our efforts to support and promote creative people would just be ideas
and good intentions. She breathes life
into our projects and brings structural reality to our ideas and projects. And we exclaim, “Thank
you LISA.”
Now, on a different note, we did feature
120 poets – 4 different poets each day in April. These are the creative people who
