Book Reviews of The Language of Life
Book Review: A good roapmap to current poets
Summary: 5 Stars
With Moyer's ability to ask the right questions, he extracts some wonderful interveiws from these poets about their lives and their work. It is obvious that Moyers knows their work, and most of the poets chronicled show their appreciation by granting some candid interviews. I was particularly moved by Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon's sections. (They were husband and wife poets, until Jane Kenyon passed away recently.) It was a treat to read about poets whose work with I was unfamiliar, such as Lucille Clifton. I also enjoyed learning about Rumi, a thirteenth century mystic whose work is translated and performed by Coleman Barks A good read if you want to learn more about the soul of a poet, or if you just want to brush up on your modern poetry.
