Poetry is Written in Words

A book of haiku, tanka, and shadorma based on one year's journey with the Merriam-Webster dictionary's online Word of the Day. The enjoyment of language and the surprise of where a single word can take the imagination. Each day, Claudia McGill wrote a short poem based on whatever word the Word of the Day gave her. The result is this collection of poems that revel in the richness of choice and variety in the English language.
