Like a Beggar by Ellen Bass
3.0
3.5-4
This poetry collection is H O R N Y. That’s right. Capital H O R N Y horny.
There were some lines I loved, like in the poem “Saturn’s Rings”: “Maybe there’s a word in another language / for when distance dissolves into time.”
Of course, “French Chocolates” is a highlight, and I found a similar voice in the final poem, “Let’s,” which was another favorite.
I want to keep this and read it again in 10, then 20 years.
