Poetry Readers Challenge discussion

Reading the poems in this collection feels like sitting in the kitchen having a conversation with your closest friend, the one with whom you share your darkest secrets. Bass explores relationships of all kinds in language that paints a rich picture. No dainty water-color strokes here, these poems are full and weighty, yet immediately understandable.

I loved these poems so much that I just ordered The Human Line

This sounds good, too, Nina. Will look her up.

I always enjoy Ellen Bass poems when I encounter them in journals. Thanks for this review and recommendation!
