pickGorgeously evocative—a brilliant series of meditations on beginnings, ends, dolefulness, memory, spirit....
It‘s biblical in its ambition and vastness, open ended, leaving room for interminable interpretations, and all the while it seems to be in conversation with something greater. I adore these weepy, enigmatic lines, and how they made me feel both connected and grateful.
I would drive to your grave but your grave is the crash
the froth foam pebbles small rocks the sand smoothed
soothed each rising each leaving tide you lie in the ocean
the water in the waves your home the stern the back
the wake of a boat those curled white lines of leaving
#Top10ofthedecade #poetryedition As requested by @monalyisha , here are my top 10 poetry reads for the last decade. Most are from the last half of the decade because that‘s when I was reading more poetry.
I‘m call this month a wrap! Finished 17 total with a great variety of formats and genres. 2 were DNF. A great month!
pickI found a copy of this book of poems that is short listed for the National Book Award on Hoopla, and I loved it so much I bought my own copy. It‘s probably my favorite book of poems I‘ve read this year. As the title implies, these poems are a profound look at impermanence in our lives and our world. It was a little hard to read at first due to lack of punctuation and strange line breaks, but don‘t let that throw you off. These are beautiful. 💕💕
