In fact, if you check out the link, above, you can probably find a photo of me somewhere on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other editions, I have an essay that appears in the Almanac. I am participating in a reading on December 21st, so let me know if you&#8217;d like to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this edition is even extra-special because my very creative daughter, Isla, also had a piece published in this edition. That&#8217;s right: her very own creation of poetry. And since this release party featured readings from several of the poets, Isla was invited to participate. Here she is:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/zimmerscope.com\/Verbisaurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_7169-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6295\" style=\"width:548px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zimmerscope.com\/Verbisaurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_7169-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/zimmerscope.com\/Verbisaurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_7169-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/zimmerscope.com\/Verbisaurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_7169-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Besides me, Isla had audience support from her mom, grandma, and both brothers. There was live music, and cake to celebrate. Isla did a wonderful job reading her poem aloud, and attendees even approached her afterward to get her autograph in their copy of the Almanac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday the 16th, I attended the St. Paul Almanac&#8217;s release party.
