New Hampshire poetry

I like to loose myself in a poetry book every once in a while. I don't know why. THis book really hits the spot if you enjoy New England as I do. Some of the poems are very descriptive and they really bring you home. Recommended. DB

Beautiful Book

Beautiful poetry from a wonderful person whose life comes through radiantly in her poetry. I can not read her poems without thinking of her connection to her husband Donald Hall - their poems cross back and forth , even after her death. She uses her/their life but stays far from the "confessional" mode. This book, like the title poem, brings me great peace.
