Wonder and Awe
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Song of the World Becoming is a treasure trove of wonder and awe. Rogers's poems are complex, musical, spiritual yet down-to-earth with telling detail of the abounding physical world. Her poems achieve their beauty with suprising twists of language and thought. The title poem alone is worth the price of admission.
An Outstanding Collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Rogers is clearly amongst the very finest contemporary American poets. A superb, beautifully written collection containing such poetic gems as "The Hummingbird: A Seduction". A treasured book in my poetry library by a gifted, important writer. Morten Lauridsen, Composer
Praise for Song of the World Becoming
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Book Magazine, July/August 2001: "Rogers offers a deeply satisfying, sometimes shocking reading experience, yielding a wonderful mixture that echoes Annie Dillard, Mary Oliver, D.H. Lawrence and Walt Whitman. Yet Rogers' is a distinctive, fresh voice. She deserves a wider readership, and we are in debt to her publisher for this fine book."
