Each Day Holds Some Small Joy: Poems<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\nBy Lynda McKinney Lambert<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
I am delighted to present this Showcase of my latest book,<\/p>\n
Each Day Hold Some Small Joy \u2013 Poems<\/strong> <\/em><\/h3>\nA collection of 130 Haiku, Tanka, and a few Free Forms. that I wrote between 1992 to 2024.<\/p>\n
The poems,\u00a0 feature\u00a0 my personal gardens, and other gardens I discovered in my travels.<\/p>\n
The book has photos from my gardens in full color.<\/p>\n
My life-long love of gardening began as a small child following my father and a neighbor through their vegetable gardens. I grew up in a home where flowers surrounded our home and our produce from my father\u2019s garden was enjoyed all year long. While my father tended to his vegetables, I was busy planting flowers and seeds along the edges of his garden, and other places on our property. I bring this love of tending and nature to my poetry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About the poetry:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\nJapanese poetic forms seem to me as a perfect way to celebrate the beauty, elegance, and livingness of nature. Because these poems are short, I aim to capture the essence of the natural world where we live.<\/p>\n
I love the spareness of the poems because \u00a0it compels me to be clear as I describe personal events, \u00a0private places, \u00a0movements, and \u00a0complexities of nature<\/p>\n

Why Should You Buy My Book?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
I recommend my new book to those who enjoy the wonders of nature.\u00a0 I designed the book to be like a resting place for a reader who wants to take set-apart time to relax and consider the poems and their own engagement with nature. Each Day Holds Some Small joy would be a gift of joy to anyone who loves poetry or wants to learn more about nature and our \u00a0amazing world.<\/p>\n
