Powerful Writing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is deeply rooted writing that must come from experience. Reminds me in a way that I can't explain of Annie Dillard. Don't go looking the the happy go lucky here. This is serious writing that lays bear both the pains and joys of life and points, perhaps, in the hard direction that you can't have one without the other.
One Hidden Stuff
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Barbara Ras is one of my favorite poets. She writes in long, elegant sentences, and finds beauty in everything without being cliched or pretentious. Ras's poetry is miles away from the short sentenced, right to the point poetry of Neruda and other greats: I really can't think of another poet to compare her to. Ras certainly isn't a poet that you could read even if you weren't a fan of poetry, but for lovers of poetry she's certainly something that must be looked into. She makes relevant references to the world, going from politics to nature to sex, and there isn't a bad one in the bunch. My recommendation is to read the poems it will let you sample and decide for yourself what you think.
