Liz Gauffreau wrote a post today on Story Empire about writing books so they're accessible to those who have barriers to reading.

"Greetings! Liz Gauffreau with you today. I think it’s safe to say that all authors want more people to read and enjoy their books. (I know I do!) However, some readers may encounter barriers if the books haven’t been made fully accessible to those who have visual or other impairments. For today’s curated post, I’ve compiled a list of websites with information to ensure that your books are accessible to all readers."

What Should We Name This War?
I hate war
Yet rich men love it
I am right
you are wrong
guns tanks bombs your side my side
only death and blood

Kay Castaneda

Shadorma-a Spanish poetic form of six-line stanzas, or sestets, and a syllable count for each line: (3/5/3/3/7/5).
