My reading week and some new books.

Wow, you really outpaced me on Redwall! LOL. Congrats on finishing it. Nice book haul, too. I had The Making of a Poem in my Amazon wishlist back when I was teaching poetry. Mark Strand and Eavan Boland are both top tier poets. The master of the heroic couplet IMHO is Alexander Pope. I hear you about the holidays... I often turn to sad Christmas albums when I'm in a mood. Over the Rhine has an album that fits the bill. It's called Blood Oranges in the Snow. Easily found on streaming services. They do a cover of the Merle Haggard tune, "If We Make it Through December" which always strikes a chord in me.

@@greatbooksbigideas thank you for the recommends. I’m going to look them up. I’m glad you’re familiar with the authors of the poetry book. That’s encouraging. I’m going to check out Alexander Pope too. 😊
