A Disappointing Collection by a Good Writer

Image
Winter's Journey by Stephen Dobyns My rating: 2 of 5 stars If poetry is the careful distillation of language to an essence,, then these stream-of-consciousness prosy essays are not really poetry. There is no doubt Stephen Dobyn's can write---given his past poetry collections and the concluding poem in Winter's Journey. But I cannot recommend this collection, given that it feels lax and self indulgent. There are moments: phrases and sentences that ring true or have fine wit about them. Let's just let it go at this: Disappointing. View all my reviews

Eliot's "Sophomore Slump"

Poems by T. S. Eliot by T.S. Eliot My rating: 3 of 5 stars Eliot’s second collection shows a “sophomore slump.” Weaker than Prufrock, most of these poems strain to display erudition. View all my reviews

This collection stands the test of time 100 years later

Prufrock and Other Observations by T.S. Eliot My rating: 5 of 5 stars This collection stands the test of time 100 years later One hundred years after they appeared, these poems still resonate both in their diction and stance of social criticism. I return again and again to reread Eliot View all my reviews

True mindfulness is humble

Perspective | Mindfulness would be good for you. If it weren’t so selfish.

From The Undoing Project

“So many problems occur when people fail to be obedient when they are supposed to be obedient, and fail to be creative when they are supposed to be creative.” Amos Tversky
