You always find surprises in a second hand bookshop. I found this the other day – and it’s a poetry anthology with a difference. “The Shepherd”s Hut” is a collection designed especially for slow, contemplative reading.
“Take time for each word
Give room to white space,
Listen for the beat,
Tune to the weather,
Rekindle memory,
Life-scape and heart-leap”
He’s talking about the kind of poetry which makes you pause for a moment.
” It is in the worth/of the words to you.”
You will find it very simple, pared down to the minimum .It is poetry where the pauses, hints, shadows or perceptions are as important as the printed page.
I don’t know if it’s still in print, but if your interested, you can track it down with ABE books
