J reminded me that April is National Poetry Month,
and they're reading a poem every night at dinner over at their house.
Here's a stack of my favorite books of poetry.
Some are very well worn,
some I am still getting to know.
Here's a beauty of a poem for a brisk, spring afternoon...
Love Calls Us to the Things of This World

Do you have a favorite poet?
Gosh -- to name just one? I'm not sure I can do that. But I'm intrigued by your pile; I had no idea Cynthia Rylant wrote poetry! She's one of my favorite children's authors. I'm going to have to check this out.
ReplyDeleteI love Emily Dickinson, Sarah Teasdale, Langston Hughs and Elizabeth Coatsworth. But there are so many contemporary poets I have yet to discover! Thanks, Karen, for bringing attention to National Poetry Month.
ReplyDeleteemily dickinson, e e cummings, billy collins, shel silverstein...i, too, need to check out cynthia rylant...and then, there's always "idylls of the king" and the iliad...tqoe
ReplyDeletejust enlarged your pile of books to read titles...so glad to see richard brautigan..read all his stuff...tqoe
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I think I need your recommendations on poetry. I always check random poetry books out of the library, but some are hard to connect to.
