Death of a Naturalist | Seamus Heaney
Pickpick

I knew a lot of poems from this one, some of my favourites of Heaney's. The one that will never leave me alone is 'Mid-Term Break', of course, and its final line:

“A four foot box, a foot for every year.“

June Fourth Elegies | Liu Xiaobo
post image

Yesterday's library haul: Gingerbread Baby, and June Fourth Elegies by Liu Xiaobo, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. I might have picked up this book because I took the author for a Nobel Prize laureate in Literature 😊. It is a collection of poems written over many years, in prison, in labour camp or at home, on the anniversaries of the Tiananmen Square protests. Some are more to my taste than others.

Six Czech Poets | Alexandra Bchler
post image
Pickpick

Poetry can give a unique insight into other cultures, and that's the case with this anthology. A lot of the poems are quite dark, with some disturbing imagery, which perhaps isn't surprising, given Czechia's history in the 20th century. An interesting and powerful collection.

Seeing Stars | Simon Armitage
Pickpick

I liked this more than the other Simon Armitage collection I read recently! This is all prose-poetry, weird little stories. I didn't LOVE it, but I think I enjoyed it.

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal @AmyG thank you!! I haven‘t seen Bad Moon. I LOVE Rosemary‘s Baby (best book to film adaptation I‘ve ever seen) and Psycho. I haven‘t seen the old Hill House but loved the recent miniseries, I‘ll have to track it down. Thanks guys! 🧡🖤🧡 1d
AnnCrystal ☺️👍🏼🎬💝. 1d
ImperfectCJ Rosemary's Baby and Nope are my favorites, and Sinners might join the list. I also like the original Candyman, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, and Alien Resurrection (I think space horror is still horror, isn't it?). A colleague just recommended Midsommar, so I need to watch that one. 2h
