I haven’t read a book of poetry in a VERY long time but I actually liked this. I read it very slowly - mostly by leaving it lying around the house and only picking it up occasionally. Author Ann patchett recommended this book as one of her “covid 19 reads�� in her blog. She said no one ever has time for poetry and now we have the time! I agree. It was good to try something new. I prefer Heaney’s shorter poems and slightly funny ones - “The skunk�� was probably my favorite - and I’ll admit I didn’t understand a lot of them, but I did get a flavor of Northern Ireland from most of his work and it was nice to travel through the pages since we can’t travel in reality.
