Allow Me to Introduce Myself: Poems About Names
Every name has a story. We’d love to hear yours.
Ask someone, “Tell me the story of your name?” and I promise you, everyone will have a story to tell.
In Allow Me To Introduce Myself, you’ll read poems about grandmothers and great-uncles, about countries left behind, about music and full-moon nights and about the moment someone decided: this one, this name, for this child.
Allow Me to Introduce Myself celebrates the stories carried in our names.
Now, I'd love to invite you to tell yours.
