Marguerite Guzman BouvardRezensionen

A lovely collection of poems, some political, some nature, all thoughtful and thought-provoking.

A collection of poems, some personal and some political. I particularly liked Tapestry.

Finished this up in my poem a day project. I loved the personal poems, some of the political did not move me as much, but they all have a beautiful quality.

I think she does a marvelous job of bringing the statistics that I know to life with real stories, some hopeful but many heartbreaking. She brings a tremendous empathy to the stories of the vets and their families. Still, I think it ends as un uplifting read, with lots of stories of the volunteer groups that are helping vets as well as the famliy members and vets themselves.

More of the poem a day project. Though I'm not much of a fan of modern poetry, there are some truly lovely ones here. I still do need to read aloud to slow myself down but it makes them much better.

What a wonderfully moving and powerful book/memoir. I know feel officially very sheepish that I have never read her books and will have to go out and buy them. She is a gifted writer and the range of her interests is amazingly wide. Perhaps not upbeat but uplifting.
