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.
