Dream Country

Poetry isn't something I read a lot of. I heard about this one through the podcast that Donna co-hosts with Iain Broome, Write for your Life.

And know what? I really enjoyed this collection. Some of it got through to me right away and some of it after a second reading. And yet more of it hasn't got through to me at all yet.

Something that stands out in this collection is how much of herself Donna puts into these poems. They make me wonder what inspired them, where she was, what age she was, that sort of thing.

Having read the collection and enjoyed it, I plan to read it again and mark favourites and underline words and passages. I believe poetry is like music and song and rewards repeated consumption!

I'm off to look up Staward on the map now.

Thanks Donna and Iain for pushing this collection on the podcast.
