One of our youngest listeners suggested "rainbow" for the color of the season 9 logo (per our episode 9.1 request for input). We were more than happy to oblige!!

Our conversation literally inspired the name for the last poem-I so remember being in Palm Desert and hearing "Necessary Prayer" -- I am all about giving credit where credit is due! And that poem is perforated, so you can take it out! Thank you both for all you do in the poetry world! 💕💫
