LUMEN 5: How to Give a Gift to a Poet. Click here<\/a> to subscribe. (Photo by Annie Spratt<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s late in the season, but if you still have a poet friend for whom you want to find a last-minute present this year, you might be wondering what to give them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, this Friday, in our last Lumen <\/em>newsletter of the year, we have you covered. In this quarter’s letter, we will be sharing five ideas for giving a thoughtful, unique gift to a poet. Here’s a sneak peek:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you\u2019re anything like me [Iris] when it comes to giving gifts, you like to give objects or experiences that will be truly meaningful\u2014that will support and encourage the recipients in pursuing their passions. So how does one choose a thoughtful gift for a poet that will do more than collect dust after the thank-you note is sent? In keeping with the principle that gift-giving is not about the money spent, here are some ideas of how to give gifts to poets (or any writers, really) that will inspire and support them in their vocation\u2014whether during the holidays or at any time of year.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re shopping for a poet or you are <\/em>a poet whose loved ones occasionally ask you for gift ideas, we hope this issue of Lumen <\/em>will help provide some inspiration. And if you’re still not subscribed yet\u2014you still have four more days to do so before the newsletter drops! Just click here<\/a> to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you have a happy and healthy end of 2018. Cheers to the end of yet another year of fantastic Asian American poetry, and here’s to a new year full of still more brilliance\u2014ever more light\u2014in 2019! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light and peace always,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
