ChaoticMissAdventures I never thought I liked poetry until I found spoken word. It just makes so much sense to me and my ears. Love it. 2d

This was a nice collection of poetry and two Essays about nature, and more specifically various species of birds. I enjoyed most of them, but my favorite was “Wild Geese“

My only criticism is reading through her second essay about finding an injured gull, and instead of taking it to a wildlife facility or the vet, she and her partner started caring for it. It isn't what you fo with injured wildlife. You don't keep them as pets.

Doppoetry She describes in detail how the gull was improving but at the same time slowly dying, how it's limbs decayed and how they tried to kill it gently. The animal lover in me was screaming at the literal animal abuse.

I know it's a spoiler but I would rather it not unpleasantly surprise other readers as it did me.

This is my favorite line so far in this section, “The Evolution of the Poem.” Even after works were published, they weren‘t always safe from further revisions by Tolkien.

“As a rule, indeed, no manuscript of my father‘s could be regarded as ‘final‘ until it had safely left his hands.”

I haven‘t had a lot of reading time this past week, so my priority was finishing The History of Love. Now that it‘s done, I finally settled in to start “The Evolution of the Poem” this evening with supper. Also, crazy Missouri weather was in the 60s yesterday and back in the 30s today, so it was chili for supper again.
