I had the utmost honor to design and publish my grandma’s poems she has written over a span of more than 30 years. I worked almost two years on this book, putting them in the exact order she wished and adding my photography per her request. (Thank you, Britt, for being such a great intern and helping me expedite this process!) My grandma, Connie Jo Post, didn’t know when I’d actually complete this project, but I thought presenting it to her for her 70th birthday would be a fine idea. So that I did, on Saturday. This 100-page book contains writings of 43% of my grandma’s life! I’ve made it available online with her permission if anyone is interested in having their very own copy -in hardback or paperback. Grandma makes $10 per copy sold. Flip the pages to view and purchase HERE. My grandma also has two blogs in which you can enjoy her writings. One is titled Around the Family Table and the other Quiet Places. Enjoy the photographs I snapped while I also shot video of her opening her book!

This is such a wonderful tribute to your Grandma! Are any of the poems from this book online?
hi jessica. thank you. that’s a grand idea to have some of these poems online. they are not, not that i’m aware of. you can view my grandma’s blogs.. the “Quiet Places” one is more geared toward her poetry she said. 🙂 I’ll let you know if she writes any of her book poems online. Thank you!
