Wowza! During this eighth Tome Giveaway, I had a great day traversing the city AND visiting Downtown Tucons’s Haiku Hike. This month also represented this Gnome’s first collaboration! I partnered with the UA Poetry Center to hide 30 book bundles featuring Poets Laureate – 90 books total! You can read more about the authors and their books here.

I hid 10 bundles of tomes around the Haiku Hike downtown and 20 tomes around town. Some photos from my adventure last weekend are included in the collage above. This time, ALL of the authors signed all of the books, and anyone who found a book bundle also received a coupon to pick up a beautiful broadside of Alberto Ríos’ poem, “This Human Bloom in the Hard Desert.”

I hope you love reading these amazing poetry collections as much as I did!

May will be upon us soon and we have at least one new (super exciting!) book-sharing event coming up next month, so keep your eyes peeled here and on Instagram for updates on our latest collaboration! And on that note, don’t forget to subscribe to my blog and follow me on Instagram to be the first to know about upcoming book giveaways 🙂
