AFTER READING
The more I got into these the more I enjoyed and began revisiting earlier poems...one always and always and continuously SHOULD.
Always another skin to peel back and make fresh discoveries.
I guess that is what is happening in these poems.
Ruth revisits some painful memories, shares the private openly with feeling and eloquence. Shifts with ease between past and present revealing insecurities, sympathies, the unresolved, with delicacy, intimacy, and unobtrusive imagery.
Simple but deceptively rich.
Humour and beauty too, and wisdom and dead-ends.
Looking forward to a future read...so much to mine here.
And I really enjoyed Ruth's company.
Thanks, Norma.
PRE-READ
My Poetry Pal and dear Friend Norma sent me this a couple of years ago with a nice inscription from Ruth... a book I've shelved for the right day which has come!!!At last!!!
Am doing a very quick read -there's even some German phrases which will have to be revisited. But I'm just getting the scent of most poems, and the feel is good.
