Warm Water Poems
On a Sunday morning in January of 2022 I started my cold water adventure by writing a poem that later became part of my first collection, Cold Water Poems. Now I invite you to read poems about warmer water and completing the challenge of swimming in 24 different bodies of water in 2024.
The foreign element of water has been most welcoming to me. I will donate all royalties for Cold Water Poems and Warm Water Poems to the International Rescue Committee.
