Poets’ Corner
Early on we realized that poetry, and the dissemination of poetry, would be a key component of our vision for WWB. In 2017, the WWB Facebook page was created, in part to share our love of poetry.
We began posting a poem a day by a wide range of poets. The posts continue on a daily basis, often including links to poets reading their poetry, drawing a current following of 2,450+ followers.
Please Note: All contents of this Poets’ Corner section are for educational purposes only. We do not charge nor receive any compensation for this content.
Coming in Fall 2024: A series of poetry readings and book signings.
Feel free to visit the WWB Facebook page at www.facebook.com/bestreads304 to read our latest poetry posts.
