Welcome to Litsy!

Quality poems for sure, although the book is super long and I didn‘t love all of them exactly.

Her work vacillates from being pretty good to unreal good…sometimes it does elevate!

I‘m glad I finally got familiar with this famous American writer.

The silken water is weaving and weaving,
disappearing under the mist equally in all directions,
lifted and penetrated now and then
by one shag‘s dripping serpent-neck,
and somewhere the mist incorporates the pulse,
rapid but unurgent, of a motorboat.

Thank you @shortsarahrose for this delightful #aprilpoetryswap package! Im excited to use the crackers in our vegan charcuterie board tomorrow! I love the book! 😘

In this poem, a long nighttime bus ride through the forlorn villages of Nova Scotia is interrupted by the majestic appearance of a moose.

“a bus journeys west,
the windshield flashing pink,
pink glancing off of metal,
brushing the dented flank
of blue, beat-up enamel...“

Thank you so much @jmofo I love my #favoritepoetswap books! Your wrapping was so much fun. I‘m very excited by your choices! Your package was perfect- columbines are one of my favorite flowers (I live in Denver for an amazing year)- and the journal is gorgeous! The snacks look delicious - 😍and I am excited to explore both poetry books.

The collected works of a poet so talented, she changed the way I think about poetry forever.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster

"A cold spring:
the violet was flawed on the lawn.
For two weeks or more the trees hesitated;
the little leaves waited,
carefully indicating their characteristics."
