I greatly enjoy this collection when I actually pick it up, but I very rarely want to pick it up. I‘ve decided to put it back in the shelf and dig into some other collections I‘m more excited about right now. I‘ll return to this one later. Perhaps I‘ll do this as a daily meditation at some point, purposely reading just one poem a day.

I‘ve never read John Clare before, but I like him so far.

Chrissyreadit I think there is a lot in this poem- I like it then felt jarred then liked it again. 3y
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit there is a lot going on in this one short poem. It‘s quite a trip in just 9 lines of poetry. 3y
TheBookHippie LOVE this. 3y

CBee How‘ve you been? @GingerAntics 3y
GingerAntics @CBee not bad. I got into a little bit of Slump, but I‘m working my way out of it. 3y

CBee @GingerAntics oh, how I understand that. If you ever need to talk, I‘m around ♥️ 3y
GingerAntics @CBee the transition between winter and summer always seems really tough for some reason. Sometimes I escape into books and sometimes (like this year) I escape into movies. 3y
CBee @GingerAntics glad you‘re coming out of it! And good to see some poetry posts again 👍🏻 3y
GingerAntics @CBee I got some new bookshelves, so the books by my bed are in a different place now, and I keep forgetting to read my Shakespeare a day and my poem for every night. I end up reading a week or two at a time. Then I keep forgetting to post things I‘ve taken pictures of. This one (and the other one) were on my phone for about three days before I remembered to post. It‘s like if there isn‘t something in my phone telling me to post, I forget. 3y
CBee @GingerAntics you could put a reminder on your phone? 3y

I loved this little volume so much. Some of my favorite poems were by Walt Whitman, John Clark, Alexander Pope, Bei Dao, Anna Akhmatova, Mark Strand, David Ferry, and Langston Hughes. Only a few of the poets are contemporary and a lot of the poems are steeped in nature. If you appreciate mostly antiquated poetry about solitude then you‘ll give this book five stars like I did.

TheBookHippie @BookBabe it‘s so life giving !! 5y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics well this is when I read through the book! I've not picked it up since! 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I just can‘t get myself to pick it up. I enjoy reading it when I do, but I‘d rather be reading other things, especially Sophie‘s World. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Have you not finished it either? 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie that‘s so weird. It‘s not a bad collection. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘ll get to it eventually .. 3y
