about book: (summary from Goodreads)

The poems in If The Sky Won’t Have Me weave a brilliant tapestry of the human condition, focusing on nature, the female experience, family drama, aging, politics, and regret. Images of water feature strongly, as do rebirth and regeneration, both physical and spiritual. A perfect sequel to the author’s debut collection, the moon won’t be dared, these poems expand and deepen our understanding of what it means to be alive in a complex world.

my thoughts:

Love, love, love National Poetry Month. I find myself devouring poems every day and just savoring them throughout the week. It's such a treat in April, especially, when the weather is so crazy and the news is so dire. So, imagine how happy I was to get my hands on a copy of new-to-me poet, Anne Leigh Parrish's,  latest poetry collection, If The Sky Won't Have Me: Poems - hurrah! I was thrilled to bits!

This beautiful book is filled with amazing poetry that I can't stop thinking about, along with beautiful images scattered throughout. It is such a lovely book to get lost in and spend time with. The poems are chock full of powerful lines and vivid imagery, that you can't help but imagine so clearly in your mind. I really enjoyed this book so much. It's definitely one of my new favorites.
