Dear Brisk Verse Buyers,
Garrison Keillor’s latest book, Brisk Verse, is (as he says) “good for reading aloud to friends and associates, neighbors, colleagues bartenders, passersby, even strangers in libraries or on airplanes.”
Let’s put that to the test — and spread the fun. When you receive your book, if you are so inclined, pick a favorite poem. Then share it by videotaping yourself reading it out loud.
Send your video (one poem only) to admin@garrisonkeillor.com. We will select a few to use on our social media over the next few months.
Deadline May 30th (we hope the books will ship sooner than the estimated May 15th date).
And if you haven’t yet placed your order, check it out here:

Personalized
Book only
Looking forward to seeing your videos. (mp4, mov, quicktime - record straight from your phone - just have fun!)
