Kansas Poet Laureate (209-2013) emerita Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg says of 365 Days: A Poetry Anthology: "these poems invite us to glimpse the shifting, extraordinary world in the seemingly still moments of the ordinary." The closed Facebook group, 365 Poems in 365 Days, was formed in 2015. Members committed to writing a poem a day and sharing at least the title of the poem with the rest of the group. The effort was a resounding success; the supportive and collegial atmosphere engendered a flurry of poetry writing activity. At the year's end, members were invited to submit poems for consideration for publication. Twenty-one poets did so, and this resulting book contains 100 poems selected by editors Roy Beckemeyer, James Benger, Dan Pohl, and Diane Wahto. Denise Low, Kansas Poet Laureate (2007-2009) emerita, has called these "authentic, agile poems" written by "skilled, committed poets." John Dorsey, author of Appalachian Frankenstein, sees this book as "sharing its voice for all of the right reasons, offering humanity, letting people know that they’re not alone, even on their darkest days." Poets included in this book: Barry "Washboard" Barnes, Roy Beckemeyer, James Benger, Carl Bettis, Matthew Bogart, Lindsey Martin-Bowen, Paul Goldman, Beth Gulley, GJ Gulley, Anne Haehl, Will Hagman, Sandy Hazlett, Melissa Fite Johnson, Alan S. Kleiman (aka Ace Mulvahil), Ronda Miller, Heather Mydosh, Eve Ott, Dan Pohl, Tyler Sheldon, Diane Wahto, and Sarah Worrel.
