Mulligrubs: a despondent, sullen, or ill-tempered mood: sulks, bluesIn early March 2023, Bonnie had a dark cloud stuck in her brain. She hadn't written anything in a minute, and had some big doctor appointments looming. She had learned that she can't let herself sink too far into a hole, so she looked around at what she could do to ease herself back out of it."A poem a day, that's what I'll do," she thought. "I'll write a poem a day."So she opened a new Word doc and called it "A Poem a Day to Keep the Mulligrubs Away" - which became the book you are about to read.
