Atwood Four Poems

Poetry Club discusses four more poems of the newly released collection “Dearly” in Part 3 of Poetry Club Talks…Margaret Atwood.

We acknowledge the returning pattern to environmental questions that demand answers, the silence in between the molecules, and enjoy the way she examines love relationships.  Poetry Club has enjoyed discussing this poet’s new work.  We appreciate the sounds, stories, and images Atwood brings to the page.  Pick up a copy today.
