Introducing: The Poet

There are several reasons The Books for Walls Project came into being. One of the biggest is inspiration. That inspiration is thanks in many ways to John Daniels, known at Books for Walls as The Poet.  His ability to share stories and write poetry are gifts, gifts that we feel lucky that he shares with us at BFW! Take a moment to read the original Books for  Walls Poemclick here. And to watch the story of how the inspiration grew, click here. Join us in thanking The Poet for all the inspiration!

What I like about the Books for Walls Project: Booksforwalls calls us to remember how much of us has come from this gift we ignore or avoid.
Why I want to be a Regular Contributor:  At my age, being irregular has its complications.

  1. The Little Sister and I wanted to say that the Poet is also our Grampa. We call him Bapa. We L-O-V-E when he reads us Calvin and Hobbes because he does silly voices! And we LOVE the bread he makes, "especially the PLUM" says Little Sister.
