Imperfect Thirst
Imperfect Thirst | Galway Kinnell
3 posts | 5 read
Galway Kinnell's twelfth book of poems is powerful and thrilling. Imperfect Thirst includes beautiful love poems and approaches elemental subjects with a remarkable balance of good nature and holy dread: recollections of childhood, snapshots of impassive cruelty, reflections on art and nature. This energetic collection will prove once again why Galway Kinnell was one of America's masters of the art.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I enjoyed a handful of poems, but for the most part, the poetry in this volume just didn‘t resonate with me. A lot of his imagery and/or subject matter just wasn‘t to my taste. Disappointing! I picked this up because I saw Kinnell recommended by one of my favorite poets (Naomi Shihab Nye), and because I like the quote that the title is taken from. Maybe I‘ll give him another shot with a different collection!
