When I read The Year of Goodbyes by Debbie Levy, I was struck by how simplistic yet powerful the pages in Levy’s mother’s poesiealbum were. Recently, I received a note from Levy saying that she’s giving readers the opportunity to create their own pages for posting on her website. Here’s what she has to say:

“Given your interest in The Year of Goodbyes, I wanted to tell you about “The Poesiealbum Project,” a web-based adjunct to the book that gives readers the opportunity to participate in the poesiealbum tradition, so central to my mother’s story.  My hope is to assemble a critical, and growing, mass of entries from people of all ages–from young people responding to The Year of Goodbyes (or simply responding to the poesiealbum tradition), to survivors willing to share brief memories or anecdotes, to participants young and old who attend events I do for the book…here’s the work-in-progress, with its first ‘poesies’ ”
