April is apparently National Poetry Month—just in time for me to read more poetry like I’ve been wanting to.
According to Goldsmiths University of London, just reading a poem during a break can enhance free-flowing associative thought. This is the ability to fluidly connect ideas and come up with new ideas.
Distraction is abundant and deep thinking is becoming scarce. Poetry has also been known to help people connect to and appreciate beauty in a more meaningful way. As creative people, I think we could all benefit from reading more poems!

go to your local library‘s website or download the app. then search for a book you really want to read. then put it on hold. it feels like online shopping but it’s free. in a few days or weeks you'll get a cute text message or email that your book is ready to pick up and you’ll get to say hello to your local librarians and procure a new (to you) book which also feels like free shopping. the most functional part of our government ily public libraries

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!
