a poem a day on the AT & no more photos

Hello, this is just to say—

My husband and I are thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail this year, beginning April 6th. I’ve committed to a practice of writing a poem a day for the length of our thru-hike (though I’ve started that practice now and hope to keep it up all year). Narrative accounts of trail life will appear on my personal blog, the proud land. The poems I find along the way will be right here.

Also, I’ve decided to dispense with the photos that have been accompanying my poems here. I don’t enjoy the process of finding the right one and adding it to the post, and I’ve asked myself what they really add. I don’t think they contribute too much. The blog will be cleaner without them so the poems can better speak for themselves. Just in case you wonder : )
