Cloudy Day Art: Summer Reading – The Poetry Home Repair Manual

  • Julian · 2 years ago
    That book sounds fascinating and helpful! I shall defiantly purchase a copy off of Amazon. Speaking of poetry books, may a plug an excellent book of poetry by Indian poet Daljit Nagra. His debut book: Look We Have Coming To Dover is a really interesting book which looks at Sikhs coming from ultra- Indian cultured Punjab to one of the world's biggest 'melting pots': Britain.

    Thanks for the recommendation, Julian.
    That sounds like an interesting book as well. I'll add it to my future reading list.

    Awesome, Julian!
    I'm glad that you're finding it useful.
    I am really enjoying the read, too (I haven't been able to read through it as quickly as I'd hoped).

    This is the first time I've read a book on poetry writing and I'm surprised on how insightful it has been.

    It is in my bookbag and will be one of my next reads. I have long been a fan of Kooser. He writes with such simplicity and beauty.

    Jackal, it is an excellent book to own.
    Joey, I'm glad that you have it. That's one of the reasons that I like him.

    I think you both will enjoy my interview with him that will be out in a couple of weeks.

    Thanks for the comments!
