Faithful and Virtuous Night: Poems | 
My dear friend gave me this collection last Christmas. It is one of his favorites and wow, I can see why. Definitely interested in reading more of her poetry.

I just received this petite volume of poetry in the mail. I‘m curious to read this collection of Glück‘s work! I‘ve loved her earlier poetry!
I‘m sorry, but I haven‘t finished Onegin yet. I am focusing on him this weekend! I‘m about 2/3 of the way through, so I think I‘ll finish very soon!

so-soI felt depressed reading this, but then I felt that there was hope. Somewhere. Obscure. #LMPBC @mcipher @Readergrrl @Hazel2019
Anyone else doing the Sealey Challenge this month? #poetry #poetrymatters 📚💙📚❤️📚💚💙📚❤️
pickI checked this out digitally from my library, and I really enjoyed it. It was just the right mix of weird and relatable. Will have to check out more of her work
pickMy third collection of poems by Louise Glück. Now I think I have a good insight into her work. With her you actually never seem to know what awaits you in her books. These poems here are more focused on everyday scenes (family, relationships, work), some might even be autobiographic. Mixed into the poems are short texts, which were my favourites, because of how Glück worked with pictures and schemes.

In honour of the latest Nobel Prize winner, I've started Faithful and Virtuous Night. So glad it's available on scribd...

so-soI was a little disappointed with this. Louise Gluck‘s The Wild Iris is one of my favorites, so I thought this month I‘d try out something else by her. There is some beautiful writing here, but I just didn‘t connect with it. The speaker and the themes didn‘t resonate for me, which is a shame, since Wild Iris has been so meaningful over the years! I will still check out more of Gluck‘s poetry—hoping to find a better connection next time.
I think here I will leave you. It has come to seem
there is no perfect ending.
Indeed, there are infinite endings.
Or perhaps, once one begins,
there are only endings.
I didn‘t get off to a strong start on Day 1 of #BFCR2—between church/finishing my book club book/cleaning the house/leading book club—I didn‘t get my walk in. But I DID finish a book! 🙌🏼 And right now I‘m planning to pursue health with some books + a hot lavender-chamomile scented bath before bed. 🛀📚 🛏 Go team #BookNerdHerd! I‘ll step it up (literally) tomorrow.
Excited by the prospect of finishing two more books tonight, I got a little carried away at the library when picking up my holds. I needed a volume of poetry for this month & the Howard Thurman book I had on hold, but clearly I also needed the third Matthew Swift book (since I‘ve been in the middle of that series for about 4 years) and a collection of speculative fiction by people of color. Obvs. #libraryhaul #bookhaul #iwillneverfinishmyTBR
pickQuite a bit different than The Wild Iris, but page flags galore all the same. Love her work.
panI picked up this book as part of my Poetry “Challenge.” The quotations are because I tend to read a fair amount of poetry in a year. What I decided to do in order to raise the challenge is to explore poets whose work I am not familiar with. This is how I ended up with this book. I had heard of the author, was intrigued by the fact that it won a National Book Award, & decided it would do for my first book in this challenge. ⬇️ #MyChallengingYear

My 💚 is so heavy about Friday so to prepare myself for the future and attending the Women's March on Saturday I'm going to read poetry for my weary soul. I put a stack of my favorites next to my reading spot.
