Black Friday-Cyber Monday 2024

It's been a long while since I've written a blog post. I've been having a writer's block when it comes to the blog. I do have good news now, "Un-Clenched Emotion", on the Kindle is on sale for 99 cents Black Friday- Cyber Monday. I didn't know if I was going to be able to do it. Amazon's promotion program wouldn't let me set a promotion for these days until this week (I knew much earlier I wanted to put my book on sale today). Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Clenched-Emotion-Natasha-Gruss-ebook/dp/B01LZNVH4Y/

You can also buy "Un-Clenched Emotion" in print. Unfortunately, you can't get it from the same link. I accidentally gave each version of my book different isbn numbers. I think that's why I can't put them on the same page. Anyway, this physical copy of "Un-Clenched Emotion" would be great as a Christmas gift, or for book sniffers. Or for book collectors like me and my husband. We have 3 bookshelves in my living room and 2 in our bedroom.  Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Clenched-Emotion-Collection-Poems/dp/1537725327/

Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Another Sale!

I admit I had an alternative motive for posting my poems on social media all week. I am trying to sale my book once again. "Un-Clenched Emotion" is 99 cents on the kindle from Thanksgiving to the 29th, which covers both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The link is: https://www.amazon.com/Clenched-Emotion-Natasha-Gruss-ebook/dp/B01LZNVH4Y

However, I did think people might like a sample of my work whether they end up buying my book or not.  None of the things I shared do I officially plan to publish, and they are here on this blog. You can find the link to the page on the right under the heading: The Written Poetry of Natasha Gruss McKinley

Black Sales Days

A bustling crowd makes my head feel like it wants to burst.

Pushing through people is anti-joy,

a few Black Fridays I have bitten my lip and tried it.

A tea kettle for my father and

vague reembrace of a cousin joining me.

It was everything I thought I would hate (except the cousin).

Curious about a drug store,

there weren't too many people there

and the sales were amazing.

Obviously, a discrepancy.

On Cyber Mondays

I can hide from the world

and get those steals

that seem to be greatest

after a day of  Thanks and long weekend.
