Mornings Like This: Found Poems | Annie Dillard
8 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
In Mornings Like This, Annie Dillard extracts and rearranges sentences from old--and often odd--books, and composes ironic poems--some serious, some light--on the heartfelt themes of love, nature, nostalgia, and death. Clever, original, sometimes humorous, and often profound, this collection is sure to charm her fans, both old and new.

I‘m early to bed and early to rise, but when you live in a multi-family house and your neighbors don‘t know how to use doors quietly? There is no #MorningGlory in that. I was over it when a door slammed below my bedroom and woke me up this morning. Yep. Somebody‘s got a case of The Monday‘s!

This was not what I'd hoped it would be. I love Dillard's essays and nature writing, but these "found" poems just didn't jive together the way I expected. Someone else may love it, though.

"To enjoy the constellations one must
Be satisfied not to expect too much of them."

Man, Annie Dillard and her found poetry.

I love Annie Dillard's nonfiction and teach her a lot in AP Lang. I was happy to find this volume of "found" poetry at my favorite used bookstore. And it makes me love Dillard even more.
