Reading is slow right now! Getting ready for this kid‘s graduation from Penn State next Friday. Our daughter and her family arrive tomorrow from Arizona. They leave for Germany soon! Feeling very blessed this month! 🌷💚☀️
Some poetry I‘ve read for #poetrymonth that is tortured because it didn‘t get to be Bejeweled when Goodreads did away with the 2023 Goodreads Choice poetry category.
so-so4th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction long list. Mixed feelings with this one. It was beautifully written but I didn‘t find a well integration in the story, specially the first parts. In some parts I just lost interest because I felt author was jumping from one topic to another🤷🏽♀️Let‘s see if it included in the short list. It didn‘t work for me as I expected 3⭐️
pickA short book of Wendell Berry poems about the natural world accompanied by several lovely watercolor illustrations.
so-soI do not understand poetry, for the most part, and this one did not convince me otherwise. Didn't love or hate anything, just confusion all around. I'll try another by Ada Limon, though, I don't think this was one of her best known.
I forgot to take a pic before I returned the book, so here's the Google results when I searched the title 😂
pickN. Scott Momaday is a national treasure. I get the feeling the guy never stops writing. In this collection, not only will you find sublime verse but plenty of couplets, or goofy quatrains, that most other poets would toss to the side. However, by the time the last line is writ, you get the feeling that Momaday has lived a hundred lifetimes, and I think that‘s sort of what he wants-now that knowledge of a hundred lifetimes is your knowledge.
