Mary Oliver
After years of reading stacks of poetry but seldom connecting, I ran across White Pines and began writing poems again.
Selected Poems – Philippe Jaccottet
Found a used copy of his poetry at a library book sale and have read it several times, always enjoying his insights.
Collected Poems – T.S. Eliot
The exquisite phrases and rhythmic lines continue to draw me. Read “Prufock” in high school and didn’t understand a word! What a joy to totally “get it” now!”
For Lovers of God Everywhere
These poems by Christian mystics (collected by Roger Housden) have so much to say and say it well.
Wendell Berry
Got to meet him once and found him to be just as genuine and honest as his poems.
Mary Harwell Sayler began writing poems in childhood but, as an adult, wrote almost everything except poetry! Her 3 dozen or so books in all genres placed with Christian, educational, and indie publishers plus a few recently self-published. She especially loves writing poetry, prayers, and anything Bible-based.
Thank you for sharing my favorite poets. I hope readers enjoy my poetry books too. 🙂
