Compilation: Poetry

"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech." - Suetonius 

What better month to provide a compilation of poetry reads than during National Poetry Month! Here are some links to reviews I've written for poetry books (in roughly reverse chronological order from when read):

4. These Fevered Days by Martha Ackmann (biography of poet)
5. Things Pondered and Further Still by Beth Moore (memoir/poetry)
6. Footprints of a Pilgrim by Ruth Bell Graham (memoir/poetry)
7. Walking Home by Simon Armitage (more memoir than poetry)
8. The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane (beautiful children's nature poetry)
