Best of Mona Van Duyn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I picked this poetry collection to read for a class I am taking. At first I dreaded this because I dislike reading poetry, however I found myself hooked. It was very interesting to see how Mona's writing changed from her first collection in 1959 to the collection written in 1993. You can see the changes in society, from society's view of being very conservative to discussing the issues of abortion and homosexuality. I live in Missouri, so I found it easy to relate to her discription of the environment and of her garden. Her words are beautiful and I highly recommend you read this.
