​Here’s my contribution for Day 24 of NaPoWriMo. Today’s prompt was to “write a poem inspired by a reference book.”

The Oxford Manual of Style and The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors are my professional bibles and both permanently reside in my precarious pile of bedside books. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who works in the publishing industry or reads for literary agents because sometimes Google just can’t give you a straight bloody answer!
