Travel is an important theme in her writings, and I can certainly identify with her commentary on a nomadic lifestyle. The poem "One Art" is about losing - losing places you used to live, losing people, losing your memory. I doubt I'll ever find a piece of writing that better explains how it feels to deal with constant loss. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/107060?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
