Poet Darlene Young talks with Signature marketing specialist Beth Brumer Reeve about her latest book, Count Me In, and how it is a testament to showing up within her faith community and in life. Aubrey Chaves, co-host of the Faith Matters podcast, says Darlene “does the soul work of connecting us to the divinity and richness of the everyday.” 

Count Me In is now available for purchase wherever Signature Books are sold. She will be reading from her collection on April 16 at 7 pm at Signature Books’s annual poetry night. 

Darlene has published two previous collections: Here (BCC Press, 2023) and Homespun and Angel Feathers (BCC Press, 2019). She teaches writing at Brigham Young University. You can follow her on Instagram @darlylar.
