Profound but Readable Poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Laurie Sheck's "The Willow Grove" is a collection of poetry for our western society as we enter the new millenium. Her poems mix the mythic and the metaphysical with current urban images. Sheck can make a TV with the volumn turned down haunt us. She can make us confront our own loss of innocense through portraying a child's view of an adult cocktail party.While Sheck's poetry is often dark and contains mythological references, it is extremely readable, even for readers who have not encountered poetry since high school. Reading it makes one realize what a shame it is that books of poetry so rarely make the best seller lists.
