Clover, Bee and Reverie: A Poetry Challenge
For all those who read poetry, this is a good challenge to read poetry. There are four levels and you can join any. Check out, Clover, Bee and Reverie: A Poetry Challenge, for more info and do join in.
The challenge will go through 12/31/2010.
Here are the four levels of participation:
Couplet: Read 2 books of poetry
Limerick: Read 5 books of poetry, and finish at least one badge
Octave: Read 8 books of poetry, and finish at least two badges
Sonnet: Read 14 books of poetry, and finish two badges, and one expert badge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will go for the Octave level. My tentative list of poetry books are:
1) Selected Poems by Robert Lowell (1917-1977)
2) Renascence and Other Poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
3) Thirst: poems By Mary Oliver
4) Becoming The Villainess by Jeannine Hall Gaily
5) At the Threshold of Alchemy by John Amen

7) Slamming Open The Door by Kathleen Sheeder Bonanno
8) The Essential Keats: Selected by Philip Levine

Looks like an intense but wonderful list! To me, reading YA or kidlit is so much easier than reading adult poetry. Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you're joining us :D
ReplyDeleteNot for me thanks, however, if I had to choose, I'd go with Rod McKuen, ALONE...I have yet to read something that meant more to me...maybe it's because I am a loner unlike anything Rod McKuen ever wrote about
