Hi Angie,
why don't you read Canadian poets like ROBERT BRINGHURST or DENNIS LEE?
Perhaps you've already heard of them but they've been new to me since last
year when I started reading their poems with deep interest. Lee's tone is
on the conversationally side: it could be an idea to take a look of a poem
whose title is: "Not abstract memories, but". As far as it concerns
Bringhurst, his "The Book of Silences" is a collection of brainy-storm
poems I do love!
How can I say........"what really knocks me out is a book that, when you're
all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific
friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt
like it" ( hope quotation is correct ! )
I'm pretty sure you'll appreciate them.
Annalisa
