‘Three-Penny Memories’ launches tomorrow!

Published by

It’s with great gratitude and joy to see my debut poetic memoir launch tomorrow on Amazon. The Zoom launch party invite is included in my publisher’s post here. I hope you can attend. It would mean the world to me.

My poems are heartfelt and revealing, so I feel vulnerable. However, the support I’m getting will help me read the poems tomorrow without choking.

This book is dedicated to my mother, who died on April 3, 2016. I was her main caregiver as she navigated the progression of Alzheimer’s. Poetry helped me to excavate the layers of grief I held as I cared for her. Despite the healing that blessed me, now that the book is public, I feel a new layer of grief weeping and a great deal of gratitude as the reviews roll in.

Please read Ingrid’s post about the launch details. Thank you all for your love and support!

It is a great honour to announce that Barbara Harris Leonhard’s debut poetry collection, Three Penny Memories, A Poetic Memoir, will be published …

        OK, thanks. I looked it up, but I thought I’d double-check. I’m terrible with time zones.

    What a lovely book. So much emotion, humor & love as Barbara shares the most intimate treasures of her heart with us. A tear, a chuckle, a memory of my own was triggered while reading her poems. Thank you, Barbara! Love this book.
