The Door | Margaret Atwood

A collection of poems that gravitate between the personal and political, the lyrical and meditative, and the ironic and prophetic, exploring such themes as the writing of poetry, the awareness of mortality, and the passage of time.

Atwood is a stunning writer but her poetry is through the roof insane!!!! Such wonderful observations that manage to traverse the personal and public spheres so effortlessly. Favourite poem was ‘Gasoline‘ - amazing last stanza!!!!!

I‘ll be thinking about these for awhile (and quoting one for tomorrow‘s #poetrymatters prompt.) Whether in poetry or prose, Atwood knows how to use the English language.

Guys I spent some of my tax return this year on a weighted blanket for my anxiety and I‘m so in love with it. Paired with some amazing Canadian poetry and I am snuggly and clam and chill. Also the pattern has tiny dragons on it. 😍🐲

ReadingVampire That‘s really pretty! I Love dragons 🐉! 7y
CouronneDhiver Where did you get it? I‘d be interested in one! 7y
Jabberwocky @CouronneDhiver It‘s a company called Hippo hug out of Calgary. The blankets are fully customizable and made here so they are a little pricey, but so worth it! 7y

tracyrowanreads I keep thinking I need one. I love yours. 7y
unicoon This blanket is so pretty. I dont think I need a weighted one but I'm sold on the pattern. 7y
LiteraryinPA What a great idea. Glad it‘s working! 7y
Melissa_J Love the pattern on the blanket! 7y
saresmoore I‘d never heard of a weighted blanket, but seeing as I pile myself under a heavy heating pad and several quilts when I‘m anxious, I‘ll bet it works well! 7y
Jabberwocky Honestly I had the best sleep of my life last night 🤷🏻‍♀️😍 @LiteraryinLititz @saresmoore @tracyrowanreads 7y

A good collection of #poetry as well as an excellent opportunity to read Atwood's immaculate writing. These lines stood out to me for some reason. #rediscoveringatwood

Lcsmcat I liked this section too. 5y

I like poems about bears! #rediscoveringatwood (sorry this is not the deepest post!)

Lcsmcat Her repetition of «big paw big paw big paw big paw» really made me see a bear plodding off into the woods! 5y

The door swings open,
you look in:
why does this keep happening now?
Is there a secret?
The door swings closed.

UrsulaMonarch One of my favorite poems in the collection! 7y
Lindy @UrsulaMonarch Yay! It‘s tricky to get a good quote from this collection because many of the passages would be too long; they build upon previous words and thoughts. 7y

Sometimes, I find amazing treasures at The Bookworm. 😍

britt_brooke So cool! 8y
Lindy This is a nice collection. Your post had me searching our bookshelves to find it and I came across something I didn't realize we had: 8y
hwheaties @Lindy thank you! And that sounds interesting. I haven't quite caught Ferrante fever yet! 8y

The poet has come back to being a poet
after decades of being virtuous instead.

Can't you be both?
No. Not in public.
