This is my last book for 2021. I cut it quite short this time, with less than 12 hours to spare, but I made it and I’m proud. A tradition of reading 52 books a year that started in 2016 is still going strong and I hope when I have children to be able to introduce them to the world of books sooner than I accepted it.
The collection of poems by Ted Hughes is good. Some of the poems were playing my heart like a guitar, others made me cry, and my favourite poem was included which is always a plus. I liked his introduction about ways to remember poems and how the way we learn them now sucks the joy out.
I agree. Poems should be fun, not dreaded!

This is a wonderful collection of poetry, in which I found several old favourites and discovered a few new loves. The poems in this collection cover a broad range of themes, but share a euphonic quality that makes it well worth taking the time to read each one aloud (which I did). I will keep this collection close at hand and return to it often; I definitely want to learn several of these selections by heart.
