Writing Poetry di Barbara Drake
We used this book in Dick Harrington's excellent poetry writing class at Piedmont Virginia Community College. It is chocked full of good, interesting information. Some of it was over my head, but then, a lot about poetry is over my head.
Beautiful prose and reflections on life lived in the country, with all its trials, tribulations, and earthly rewards. I loved the talk of trees, lungwort, moral dilemma of prey and predators, water worries, and the self-satisfaction that comes from providing for oneself. I aspire to this. And it was nice to hear someone else's honest thoughts and experience about such a 'backward' move these days. Delightful, humorous, moving.
