Bookish Poem: Adventures with Books by Velda Blumhagen

Books, in their quiet, steadfast presence, invite us to explore worlds both far-reaching and intimately close. From the icy expanses of polar lands to the lush density of jungle trees, each book is a vessel, a train, a zoo, or a garden waiting to be discovered. As the captains of our own adventures, we chart courses across the seas of narrative and scale the heights of imagination. Each reading session is a departure, a break from the mundane, where we, as keepers of our own literary zoos, curate the experiences that shape our understanding and enjoyment of the world. This week, we share with you a poem written by Velda Blumhagen that expresses our childlike love for books.
