Keats's Odes: A Lover's Discourse

 

This book is an incredible look into Keats and some of his odes. Through the author's insights I was able to see how these odes reveal some of Keats' life but they also pertain to our own as we go through love and loss. I now want to review Keats' work over and over. What a gift from Keats.

Book Review: Ivy in Ploom

This is a beautiful book to share with children. It begins with Ivy brought down by winter. She loves spring and all of the beautiful colors. She goes on a spring hunt in March, and was disappointed, all she sees is snow. However, in April the colors begin to appear.

Their are lines of poetry throughout and some of the lines are familiar.There is a list of the poems and their poets in the back of the book. The lines from the poems used are also highlighted.

Illustrations are simple but beautiful and enhance the text very well. I feel this would be a wonderful book to share with children to open their eyes to the beauty of poetry.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Vanita books in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: Best Poems of the Bronte Sisters

I enjoy the works of the Bronte sisters and I am a poetry lover, so this title called my name. The Best Poems of the Bronte Sisters is published by Dover Publications. This collection contains work from each of the sisters and whereby their style is similar, their differences also speak out through their poems. Charlotte's poetry is based on her reflections of her sisters. Where Emily's are on the darker side of life.

I feel this is a good collection of poetry which represents each of the sisters well. Those who enjoy poetry, especially that which is written in the 19th century should turn to this book. It will become a welcome addition as a collection of great poetry.

I was given this book by Dover Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book can be found at Amazon HERE! and Barnes and Noble HERE!
