Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

Oooo, this had a sense of foreboding to it and it was awesomeeee!
Very raven-esque
well-written The poem does not reveal what the warning is, but this only adds to its sense of suspense and foreboding.
Ahhh the birds are back!!π³ Lovely writing Mother Combsβ¦ do you live in the country or a farm that you are inspired by ravens and the like or is this topic from a challenge I may have missed?.. π
