Our Gleaming Bones Unrobed by Grant Loveys
3.0
"Sometimes the world's indifference
makes all the difference in the world." Get Hopeful (P. 66)
I wanted to love this collection of poetry more. With every turn of the page I was hopeful that the next poem would make me feel more - make my heart hurt. Unfortunately, other than a few lines here and there, I didn't feel that familiar ache that my favourite poems bring.
There is something to be said about the shared experiences of authors and readers. Perhaps I didn't feel, because I haven't experienced? Perhaps I'll revisit this collection in a few years and see if my opinion differs. All of that being said, the collection itself is well put together. The flow of poem topics connects together beautifully. The final poem is filled with all the hope I'm sure Loveys wished to convey.
I'd love to read more of his work.
