THE LONE STAR LIT
TEXAS POETRY SPOTLIGHT
Coming April 11, 2021
April is National Poetry Month, and to celebrate, we're putting the spotlight on
TEXAS POETS AND POETRY.
Throughout April, we will share features (book reviews, author interviews, excerpts) highlighting Texas-connected poets and poetry. Then, on April 11th, we'll present the Texas Poetry Spotlight to showcase even more books!
