The poetry of lawnmowers
The poetry of lawnmowers

They are the most artificial of natural landscapes, using up copious amounts of water and chemicals for the benefit of a few species of grass at the expense of all other living things, from earthworms to daisies. And yet I would be sorry to see the end



Close call with a spider bite

Crouching over a Rudbeckia (the Latin word for a tall plant with flowers that look like huge yellow daisies), she was staring at a flower as intently as a schoolboy studying a bug in a jam jar. "Turn over the petal on that flower right there," she



Evolution of a Garden

The NYBG's perennial garden became a poetry walk, sprouting large boards with Dickinson's verses about the glory and wonders of the natural world. Meanwhile, the conservatory re-created Dickinson's universe of roses, daisies, daylilies, columbine and



Xpress Reviews—First Look at New Books, June 24, 2011

The title of this book is provocative and intriguing, as is the cover—a Delft vase with bright gerbera daisies, photographed at the exact moment it shatters, water exploding. Unfortunately, this first novel is a soggy mess, lacking narrative direction

Poetry Curated: “Daisies” by Louise Glück « la vie en route

, It’s not April anymore. Poetry month has passed us by.” I agree with you on the first point. The latter point would require conversation.

Life is rife with poetry- why subject it to only one month’s notice?

I have wrestled with the suitability of posting other people’s poems here, notably poems published in books. Hence why, it is now almost the end of June and I am just rolling around to sharing my second poem from my curated selection of poems for Poetry Month.  My desire is to invoke a sense of longing in you to find a poem and a poet whose work speaks to your soul.

There is no attempt at intended, just a wanting and trying to share the infectious thing that is poetry, so we shall proceed, unless and until I am asked to remove the poems.

The collection of poems found in “The Wild Iris” by Louise Glück is radiant. The persona poems within embody such lush beauty.  I’ve selected “Daisies” below as part of poetry curated. What I particularly appreciate about this poem is how the line length and syntax sort of arrest you. It’s not an easy poem to get through and this is akin to the struggle between the natural world and the industrial that occurs everyday. Don’t believe me? Try taking a long leisurely walk outside during your lunch break tomorrow rather than the typical one you might partake of behind the desk. In this poem, the natural world resembles something “sentimental” but it demands all of you. We give up our hold and the hold of the natural world upon us far too easily.

Daisies

Esss- As you’re in the UK hankering for poetry, I would heartily suggest picking up this tome. There is a reason it won a Pulitzer.

Terry & Sharona- I’ll be posting more poems over the coming weeks with both of you (and the closet poetry fanatics who are reading but not commenting). Let me know if there’s someone you would recommend to the list along the way.
