The Collected Poems of Galway Kinnell by Edward Hirsch, Galway Kinnell
4.0
You can't read Galway Kinnell without a sense of the spiritual in everyday life. His collected works are a real treat.
Kinnell produced poems so deceptively simple they appear to take a sideways look at the universe from ordinary life and thoughts. Everyday speculations appear to be a universe outside of the everyday.
As with all poetry, it may not be a style for everyone but Kinnell was a brilliant poetical voice that gave beautiful poems throughout his career.
I would definitely recommend this book for people who love poetry as well as for those who shy away from the esoteric. This book brings out the rich spiritual nature one can find in life at any age.
