Why Choose Tuma's Books?
Good morning!! I just wanted to express, that your work is enriching lives, and I am so grateful to have found you. I had always given poetry a shrug, simply because the poetry we read in school was always so... not up my alley. And then I received your March book club (Poukahangatus) along with a surprise book, (Corazon) and I have found a new found love for poetry, and see that I may have just been looking in the wrong places this entire time. Those two poetry books resonated with me so much, I am now expanding my collection, and found Velvet Dragonflies by Billy Chapata. I am already so in love with this book, and I have you to thank for that. So thank you, thank you for doing what you do each and every day, because truly, it does make a difference. May you have a lovely rest of your day :)
