The Kingdom of Ordinary Time: Poems by Marie Howe

4.0

I've been meaning to pick up some Marie Howe for ages, ever since I read "Annunciation" a few years ago. And I'm so glad I did. I love when poets can play with language and communicate thoughtfully without going too deep into LaLaLand. Marie Howe strikes the balance well. You know she's a good poet when her words actually almost force you to pause and reflect.
Definitely will be reading more by her when I get the chance!!

Oh and I should add: the blurb tells you exactly what you're in for. I appreciate the reflections on mundanity and the exploration of sacred vs secular!
