What a beautiful book!

I loved the book, and will be re-reading it from time to time! It is beautifully inspirational and thoughtful! I highly recommend it to anyone!

Hmmm

I was excited for Bly's new book. Bly is wonderful. If you have never seen him read, and you love poetry, you must must must find a way to hear & see him. He has written many wonderful books. His last three books (prior to this one) were ten stars. This one... four. I was disappointed. Still, if you are a fan, get it. For the rest of you, I would recommend Morning Poems or his collected.
