How to Fly: In Ten Thousand Easy Lessons by Barbara Kingsolver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book of poems. They are readable, relatable and mostly understandable. The book is broken into seven sections. Each has a theme, the first being a quirky sort of “how to” that pulls you straight into the book.
My favorite section is the second “Pellegrinaggio” where these poems take you on the journey of her and family traveling in Italy with her mother-in-law.
If you’ve never read poetry before, this book may pull you in.
Thanks to HarperCollins Publishers and NetGalley for an uncorrected electronic advance review copy of this book.
book reviews, mostly.
books pulled from the shelves and new ones flying through the door. Enjoy!
