“That was the question Nicola Behrman asked her pals on the eve of Thanksgiving 2010. Then, on a whim, she asked them to write it out by hand and pop it into the mail to her in California. Guess what happened? In this fast paced, modern world, where we can hardly find the time to respond to our emails, poem after poem in stamped addressed envelopes started landing on her doorstep.”
The letters eventually came from friends and strangers alike, and Behrman built a collection of favorite poems, which she carried around and shared on request. Poetry Post brings those poems online by way of Poetry Tuesdays and asks readers to reflect on that original question.
