Poetry is one of those things that requires a rare talent to do well. Like a work of art a poem must transcend it's physical representation and excite the subconscious. This collection of short poems illustrates that perfectly.

A great anthology to dip into now and again, each poem demands an emotional response from the reader. Even when the actual subject matter may be obscure, the feelings and power behind the words is clear.

This is definitely worth reading and reflecting on, even if you are not usually interested in poetry

"In college, I took a poetry class with Jorie Graham, an amazing poet. She directed me to Hass, and his stuff moved me so much. His writing is very American, spare, clean. And manly. There’s a ruggedness to his poems. One in particular I’ve always loved is called ‘Dragonflies Mating.’ It combines a sense of abandonment in childhood with natural images. I don’t even know exactly what it means, but I think that’s what poetry does—it evokes all these feelings without our really understanding why or how it’s done."
