Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World by Pádraig Ó Tuama

This is a wonderful collection of poems. A couple are by poets I am familiar with, but most of them were new to me. Pádraig Ó Tuama brings us to each with a brief introduction, and then after each poem, he provides an insightful analogy. I would love to have all poetry books in this format! Simply amazing. If you appreciate poetry as a way to analyze and appreciate life, I feel you will appreciate Tuama's work. I enjoyed having both the hard copy and the audio of this book. The Audible version has the introduction of each poem tacked onto the end of the description of the previous poem. That was a little frustrating to me. Apparently the version that is on Everand organizes the recording differently. I don't know what Libro.fm or Kobo does but it would be worth checking into if you are going to do audio. For me, it would make a difference. This book sparked a great discussion in my poetry book club.
