A Poetry Handbook by Mary Oliver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
“For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry. Yes, indeed.”
Mary Oliver’s poems have been a longtime staple, and her insight and wisdom toward the craft have been so useful in my own journey in writing poetry.
This book is so simple, yet so full of useful tidbits, and I am so glad I got to read it as part of my undergrad curriculum.
