i dont know how to feel about this except maybe i feel super incompetent because all the time i was like "am i not paying enough attention? did i miss something?" and honestly, i feel like the answer is obviously yes, so, perhaps i was not ready or in the mood to read this book.

I want to understand poetry. I want to enjoy poetry so I buy books of poetry and wade through a morass of words only few of which penetrate my skull. I have found poetry that speaks to me, that does not bore me, that gives me some perspective on the world of poetry. This book of poetry is not obscure but the writer's thoughts and perspectives are not mine so I am not touched...I do not want to copy any of the poems into my commonplace book. The poems are easy to read, a little sad and bleak to my eyes, very Canadian in vision. Purchased in 1978...why did I keep it..because it was Margaret Atwood and I wanted to give her another chance. I prefer many of her books of prose
Reread in 2018 - giving it another chance because I am older and my life has changed. I come to the conclusion that I have not changed as much as I thought.

melissaa's review against another edition
in deze bundel is er altijd iets aan het broeien of spoken, een huis verandert in een landschap of andersom, een juist helder beeld blijkt een optische illusie. over hoe moeilijk het is om dichtbij anderen te komen, of bij jezelf. met een overvloed aan moerassen, takjes en flesjes in de vensterbank waar een orakel in huist, (en veel haakjes)

Studying Margaret Atwood's poetry in class at the moment!

Normally, I love Margaret Atwood but this one just gave me a headache. If you read this pace yourself, do not try to read it all in one sitting. I find that reading poetry should be done in stages, at least in my case.

(One day /
I’ll touch the warm /
flesh of your throat, and hear /
a faint crackle of paper /
or you, who think /
that you can read my mind /
from the inside out, will taste the /
black ink on my tongue, and find /
the fine print written /
just beneath my skin.)

fast-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
