Turmoil at readers end

One morning I had a spill. Tea on a book. The spill led me to Out,Out. After reading the poem, I wondered why it didnt appear in an anthology of Frost poems that I had read.

Reading poems related to dreams I read The Tower. Ben Bulben in it makes the title Under Ben Bulben familiar. Seeing the recurrence of Ben Bulben, I set out to read the poem but I am nagged by how I could have better appreciated the poems with some knowledge of Irish history and who are the poets from 1800 and 1700s with whom my origin lets me connect without effort.

In many days I havent come across a poem where I had to refer the dictionary.

Facing the heat

The fires is a must read for anyone curious about how a modern city works.- book's blurb.

That an opened door is an invitation for the fire to engulf the person who opens the door, that a big hole in the roof helps control the fire.. a hole in a roof is said to be enough to ruin a barn. The say of a buliding's architecture in its reaction to fire.

Writing under prosthesis

There is a little difference between the glasses and the boobs to me,just things I wear when I'm awake, each an item to bridge the world between my dreams and waking time, between whoever I am and the rest of the living world.

What is a good book?

When I am looking for something new to read, its novelty should match The wave watcher's companion

I want it to have big ideas.

Reading poems on poets.org, I like how with the search on the top right, you can make an anthology of your own of any common subject. I wake up and think, I want to read poems on 'morning' and I just need to have time to read 70 poems on it.
