I am really enjoying reading the following poetry book:
Seamus Heaney (1939-2013). The Poems of Seamus Heaney. Farrar, 1,296 pages, 2025. VSCPL.
IMPRESSIVE!!!
His complex and interesting metaphors and phrasing is very engaging.
I recently read the following two collections of poems by two authors:
Mina Loy (1882-1966). The Lost Lunar Baedeker: Poems of Mina Loy. Edited by Rober L. Conover. Farrar, 256 pages, 1997. VSCPL. She lived in France. Surrealistic and Futuristic poetic style. Confusing. Independent character.
Joanne Kyger (1934-2017). As Ever: Selected Poems. Penguin, 336 pages, 2002. VSCPL. She lived in the San Francisco area, Bolinas. Part of the SF Renaissance. Clear, down to earth, ordinary life observations. Feminist perspective. Typographical layout is scattered on the pages. My least favorite of the three mentioned here.
