As the fair celebrates another successful year of bringing together the brightest minds in publishing, Citi of Books proudly joins the festivities at the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse, showcasing inspiring titles from its talented authors. Among the featured works in the Book Gallery is “Come! Write a Poetry with Me: My Adventure into Poetry” by Marilyn Brodhust.
After thirty-five years in the classroom, Marilyn Brodhust found her joy in caring for grandchildren, exploring poetry with a writing group, and traveling cross country in her Ford van. She resides in Tucson, Arizona and is a member of the Tucson Poetry Society (TPS) and Arizona State Poetry Society (ASPS).
Writing poetry becomes a source of strength when life feels heavy and hope seems distant. It allows you to see your struggles through a softer lens, freeing your mind from the doubts that whisper you’re not enough. “But I can’t write a poem,” you might think. Oh, but you can. From childhood, you’ve absorbed rhythm, rhyme, and stories—each shaping your voice and perspective. You already carry a lifetime of emotions waiting to be written.
In “Come! Write a Poem with Me,” Marilyn Brodhurst invites you to turn your thoughts and feelings into art. Through simple yet powerful techniques, she guides you to express what’s inside and share it with the world. All it takes is a little courage, space, and patience. Open the pages of this book, and take that first brave step toward creativity—you might just surprise yourself with the beauty you create.
