Breath: Poems | Philip Levine
post image
Pickpick

Levine writes about working class people as in My Brother, Antonio, the baker,remembers family members as in Yenkl or a dead friend in Storms. But he also writes about the lyrical I in nature as in Gospel which to me is an outstanding poem.Its rhythm,the pauses,the clear,transparent diction.”I didn‘t come for answers to a place like this, I came to walk”-love the line.Not all poems were emotionally resonant,but overall a great collection.

One Secret Thing | Sharon Olds

I would dive into the lake
- immediate, its cobalt reach and
silence - slide down, into the rich,
closed, icy book, blue lipped
in a white rubber cabbage-roses
headdress, and a coral rubber nose-clip,
slow-flitting like an agate-eating
swallow, floating sideways in
the indigo pressure.

This was such a lovely collection of poems!

The books starts off with an Author‘s Note that gives some background into how the poems and book came together. I always appreciate these in poetry books because poetry is deeply personal so it‘s nice to have some context.

I‘ve been listening to a lot of country lately, and this has been one of my favorite songs. I love the romantic wistfulness of it. He has a lot of great modern country ballads. Plus it wins for understated album cover! 😂 #tuesdaytunes

BarbaraBB That cover is quite minimalistic indeed 😀 5mo
TieDyeDude I think Cold is my favorite from that album. I don't know if he is on country radio much, but this is the kind of modern country I like. I'll take Stapleton over Jason Aldean every time. 5mo

Megabooks @TieDyeDude same, but I like Big Green Tractor because it‘s so funny! Cold is fantastic, too. He carries such emotion in his voice. 5mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB not many country album covers are like this! 5mo
