pickI don't read a lot of poetry because it just doesn't resonate with me the way it does for other people. I read this collection of prose poetry because one of my #Storygraph reading challenges has a prompt for a book that won a Pulitzer the year I was born. These poems are interesting and unsettling, and you can feel a lot of war influence in them. #Poetry
Here is the cabinet referenced in my last post. When I went off to college, I brought this with me, and painted it in my favorite colors (blue and silver are still my faves) and covered it in quotes from my favorite books. A little pretentious, way too earnest, but I've never had the heart to get rid of it. #teenyears #oldtreasures
Jan. 7: Against Winter - I'm checking out Simic's poetry after one of my favourite authors gave him a nod as a creative influence. #LitsyPoetry365
I didn't love this book of poetry when I read it last month, but as I re-read this today his writing is growing on me. #litsypoetry365
While I don't have a plan this year for books, I do have a poetry plan (which apparently involves crappy camera angles - sorry for that). I didn't love Simic's collection overall, but there are some pieces, like this one, which spoke to me. #LitsyPoetry365
