God's Silence by Franz Wright

4.25

I love the atmosphere in a lot of the poems  esp with snow. From Nightwalk, "There must be thousands of people in this city who are dying to welcome you into their small bolted rooms,to sit you down and tell you what has happened to their lives.And the night smells like snow.Walking home, for a moment you almost believe you could start again." A lot of the poems are sad and angry and religious in a way which comes off as mystical but unsure. From Father Roger Goes For a Walk, "It's the last day of somebody's childhood. And every day I'll try to do one thing I like, in memory of being happy". Man that stings. What a banger
