I honestly believe she's a poet, hiding behind a novelist's persona. Her writing is rich with imagery and magic. Esp good are Illumination Night, Turtle Moon, Here on Earth, Seventh Heaven.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443526.post-1128641074626558752005-10-06T16:24:00.000-07:002005-10-06T16:24:00.000-07:00Lyle, I will check out John Berger, thanks.C.D.

I usually can't read much art criticism, too much of it seems to me swamped in terminology and removed from the art and the world it's talking about. Berger is a great exception -- I can't get enough of him. (His book Ways of Seeing is especially good if you haven't read him before -- it includes many pictures to illustrate the ideas he's talking about.<BR/><BR/>Poetry I'm reading right now is Gary Snyder's Danger on Mountains, his most recent one; and Exile in my Homeland by Dale Jacobson, a booklength poem published by Author House, a print-on-demand publisher. Liking them both so far.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.com
