Very Light Reading
Brief Candles: 101 Clerihews by Henry S. Taylor
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Mildly humorous and occasionally witty.
The Marriage of Art and Science, Passion and Poetry
The Dream of the Marsh Wren by Pattiann Rogers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Despite awards and recognitions, Pattiann Rogers is still an under-appreciated poet of the latter 20th and early 21st Centuries. In this prose essay, Rogers describes how her writing creates her as she creates it, and that this mirrors our place in the natural world, which creates us as we give it consciousness. She shines her words on the sacred in the smallest detail, and with passion and sensuality, makes a marriage of art and science. This small book is worth reading more than once.
