I have had to read this poem for so many of my classes, and each time I read it, I learn something new about the poem itself. This time, I noticed a lot of the color allusions and how often they are used. Honestly, the first time I read this poem, I hated it, but it has started to grow on me.

If you like TS Eliot, or super confusing poems, give this one a read!

"I love this poem of a novel. It’s a stunningly rendered exploration of the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII."

Amazing poem with a haunting and enchanting rhythm, which slowly builds the tension and the terror in the room with the Raven.

Book Favorite

"In 1417, Poggio Bracciolini discovers Lucretius’ ancient poem, “On the Nature of Things.” This poem had been lost for more than a thousand years and its ideas threatened contemporary views of science and human contentment. Its return to circulation altered the entire course of history, and Greenblatt writes about this shift in an accessible, meaningful way."
