The Wild Iris by Louise Glück

4.0

4.5☆ — my first time reading louise glück! i've always been very intimidated by poetry and it's only quite recently that i have started venturing into this section of literature through popular poets (mary oliver, agha shahid ali, darwish). i think i still have a bit to go before i can say that i have cultivated the minimal required sensitivity to appreciate poetry. however, i still feel confident enough to assert that i really liked this collection. i pored over the pages for days, slowly letting the words weave together and i'm glad i gave it time to come to me as well. it was beautiful and has to be one of the most gorgeous pieces of poetry i have ever read, would recommend!
