the moon understands dark places.

pickI loved a lot of these poems but didn't like that this was a mishmash of new poems and ones from her other published books. It was a bit jarring thematically, and I think I'd prefer to read the original books the poems came from. (I loved Clifton's The Book of Light, which lent some poems to this book.)
One of my favorite poets of all time. #PoetryMonth
Loving this poetry collection. I'm going to have to go back and get her complete collection from the library next week. #nationalpoetrymonth #readharderchallenge #poetry
Early morning reading before the hectic work week starts again. Quiet time! #nationalpoetrymonth.
