The Circle Game by Margaret Atwood

3.0

This collection of poetry is a slow pace written work with Deep understanding and author used symbolism throughout poetry and one can enjoy. i can only describe as overly detached/observational work if you want solace and peace, read with this when alone or before sleep to grasp the understanding of the poetry.

I really enjoyed the title poem. There were also several that were about travelling west by train, across the prairies into the mountains. I think then there’s one set perhaps in a Stanley Park in Vancouver, amongst the totem poles.I don't expect everyone to like traditional poetry like I do, and I am also quite picky which is probably why I'm not super satisfied with this. Her poetry has substance to it, while most modern poetry these days seems to be lacking this aspect.
