pickI 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.“

Random book from our personal library.
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.
pickPoetry 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.
pickI 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.
