pickThis 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.
I bought this copy second hand, not realising that someone had annotated it.
Very touching: they wrote out the whole final poem, I think clearly a fan.
pickThese poems truly capture the complexity of love for me. I‘ve always thought it strange how the strength of love can invoke its opposite.
I‘m not saying love is an excuse for a pattern of mistreatment (it‘s not) I‘m saying it‘s complicated & painful sometimes & always scary— your heart walks around outside your body & if you‘re lucky you can trust someone to take care of it. I trust Pablo ❤️

They did pretty well with the flavors. The Thai tea needs improvement. 🧋
pick3 ⭐ Silly Street is just like dirt on my shirt. It‘s a collection of children‘s poems. However, this collection has a theme. It‘s of walking down the silly street. It‘s a different shop you‘ll meet. Different things to do in kids to hang out with too. This book is more successful because there‘s a coherent theme where dirt on my shirt fell very cobbled together.
pick3.5 ⭐This is a collection of children‘s poems. Much in the vein of where the sidewalk ends or anything by Shel Silverstein. Jeff foxy does an admirable job. I do think that sometimes his poems are half thought of or feel like they‘re missing the ending But overall, they are a nice pleasant read. I think kids will like them and the illustrator does a great job bringing them to life. I‘m not sure how well you hear Jeff Foxworthy voice.
I know it's a spoiler but I would rather it not unpleasantly surprise other readers as it did me. 1w
