reviewed The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: Poems on July 21, 2012 The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: Poems
Gorgeous book of poetry. Each poem ends with a short essay which I found very enlightening.
Some beautiful poems I want to remember
Reconciliation, Sonata for the Invisible, and Promise.
Some passages which spoke to me personally
"All acts of kindness are lights in the war for justice"
"It had been years since I'd seen the watermonster who lived at the bottom of the lake. He had disappeared in the age of reason, as a mystery that never happened."
"It's possible to understand the world from studying a leaf. You can comprehend the laws of aerodynamics, mathematics, poetry and biology through the complex beauty of such a perfect structure. It's also possible to travel the whole globe and learn nothing."
