Ann Porter has a delightful way with words. She brings images to mind with ease, and the reader is enfolded in her thoughts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fransican Joy in Created Things, May 2, 2002
By 
AYS (East Lansing, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Altogether Different Language (Paperback)
Anne Porter's volume of poetry "An Altogether Different Language" is salve for souls aching from post-modernism. Her sparse but lyrical poetry finds "fransican joy in created things," as her editor David Shapiro put it. Her subjects are nature, God, and loving relationships. Anne Porter was not a poet by trade, but wrote these over the course of 60 years. She was in her-mid eighties when they were finally published in this volume, which was a National Book Award finalist.
