Still Life with Oysters and Lemon: On Objects and… by Mark Doty
This is a lovely book especially in how it serves as a catalyst for thought and memory.
Valuable, informative way of reading poetry from Poet Mark Doty. I checked this out from the library but will need to own it.
A genuine and heartfelt autobiography, as one might anticipate from a poet of Mark Doty's caliber. One of my favorite poets gave an honest presentation, which I appreciated.
Excellent. I read Herbert at 17 with no preparation or particular interest and found some kind of kindred spirit. I feel that again here.
