Ten Poems To Last A Lifetime
by Roger Housden
1400051134
The Art of Disappearing by Naomi Shihab Nye
and
When Death Comes by Mary Oliver
are my favorite poems in this book. But perhaps it’s not the actual poems featured but Housden’s narrative throughout that is the reason I love this book so much. In his discussion of each poem you find even more work, poems, ideas, insights, brilliance… than you ever thought possible. It moves you, it stirs your soul.
This is the sort of poetry book that is good for those who don’t get poetry. Who are more concrete in thought than abstract. With Housden’s gentle guidance, he leads you through the beauty of each featured poem with more passion than you can imagine. Simply beautiful.
