pickI tend to have a difficult time writing about/reviewing poetry. I'll say that I enjoyed this collection. Enjoying the process of reading is enough for me, without expanding on the meanings/themes of the poems. I think this is a collection I will revisit, and I will certainly seek out more of Adrienne Rich's works.
I‘m continually learning how to read poetry. I‘m grateful when I find these access points that jump out and speak to me.

My early Christmas gift to myself. Volumes 1 and 2 arrived today! Squee!
Two #CanLit titles on the go. One from my own shelves (tagged book) and one just picked up from the library.
We're under Stay at Home orders again for 4 weeks, it's going to be raining most of the week (we had ducks in our yard this morning!) So what better way to spend the days right?
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 98

…a little girl sat, plucking white petals off a daisy, reciting the prophetic verse: Il m‘aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie, pas du tout. The daisy was scalped bald and the girl dispassionately flicked the limp, unadorned flower over the balcony railing, as it appeared the object of her desire loved her not at all.
