Love Her Wild
Atticus. Love Her Wild. Atria, 2017.
A gift. Poetry that is positive, epigrammatic, ecstatic. A youthful world view suitable for texts and tats.

Loving A Woman In Two Worlds
April 11, 2017
Robert Bly. Loving A Woman In Two Worlds. Harper & Row, 1985.
Poems about mature love. The two worlds seem to refer to this and another. Somehow, rereading Bly 30 years later, nice, but he doesn't take me there with him.

Waiting For Saskatchewan
Fred Wah. Waiting For Saskatchewan. Turnstone, 1985.
A very interesting selection of poems and prose-poems exploring grief, memory, genealogy. Some I found incomprehensible, but others were touching, revealing. Especially the China travels and the Elite series. A reminder that "mixed" is not always "Metis" and that identity is most likely a universal quest only complicated by race[s].

Whetstone
Lorna Crozier. Whetstone. M&S, 2005.
I have always loved this woman's poetry. Her imagination. Her sense of play. Her love of words. In this collection, I'm transported back to a prairie childhood, of being outside in wide spaces, darkness, blizzards, the light in snow.
