elizabethlk 's review for:
Gitanjali
by Rabindranath Tagore
I was unfamiliar with either this collection or the poet himself until I came across this in Serial Reader, despite the fact that Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize for Literature (and apparently largely for this particular collection).
I'm not surprised to learn that Tagore is a Nobel laureate. I only connected on a personal level with a few of the poems, but they are all just so lyrically beautiful that I couldn't help but enjoy each one. Tagore translated this collection himself, and did a beautiful job in the translation. The more traditional poetic language used can sometimes sound stuffy to the modern ear, but this was lovely, and I read almost every poem out loud to myself.
I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a poetry collection to read.
