2020
Celebrate Advent with a free poem a day. It's Donna's and Cladach Publishing's gift to you during this holy season and also this period of great anxiety and uncertainty. Take time to center yourself, to fill yourself with joy and wonder and anticipation. There is also an audio reading each day.
p.s. You don't have to be religious to make these poems your moment of calm.
