Synopsis

The Less Said is a collection of short poems in 14 different forms. For more than a year, the authors, Gail Hartman, Ann Reed and Kate Tucker have each created and shared one short-form poem each day, developing a comforting daily ritual. Each of the forms has their own set of structures, syllable or word limitations. Only one of these forms involves rhyming. The Less Said is a curated collection of their poems, some humorous, some serious, all of them timely.
