The book club at the Sangha I attend would like to explore poetry… looking for your favorite suggestions of books of poetry that inspire you as you live, teach, etc…
Thanks,
Traci
Hi Traci,
Glad to see this request. Poetry is such a beautiful way to express practice insights and questions. Reading and writing poems has long been a fruitful avenue in my practice.
For me, it’s not so much particular books, but certain poets whose material tends to be practice related. Here is a short list of poets, which would quickly be much much longer if I didn’t intentionally pause so as not to overwhelm…
Jane Hirshfield
Mary Oliver
Octavio Paz
David Whyte
And here are links to a couple of posts that are distinct but related to this topic here on CFMHome. Enjoy!
