Chord Box: Poems by Elizabeth Lindsey Rogers
4.0
Full disclosure: I went to elementary/middle/some high school with Beth Rogers, so I can't say my opinion of this book is unbiased.
Also, poetry--how do you rate poetry? It's so personal.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this collection. My first reading(s) made me powerfully happy-sad, which is what I consider good poetry. Some of my favorite bits:
"A woman told me this:
to come of age is to recognize
the myths we were taught."
"It feels full,
holy--blue ridge
white with
winter,
hills lining up
in their habits
of snow."
