it was amazing
bookshelves: currently-reading

Poetry is so personal and my taste for it evolves. As I write, Whyte continues, after years, to hold me spellbound.

Whyte poems are jewels of story telling operating at multiple levels of meaning. I have little capacity for tone poems; I need them to speak straight. Not a problem of antique language (I love Shakes, Dunne, Milton); I just need to read it without knowing the secret, hidden references and the poet's biog.

You can't put a book of poetry on the "read it" shelf; it just won't stay there. This book is always within arm's reach for inspiration.
