Poetry
"In an age when poets tend to put too much strain on the cobweb connections between writer and reader, Mrs. Lindbergh's poems are a joy for their clarity and restraint and for the feeling which so swiftly flows from the word to the listener." -- Edward Weeks, Atlantic Monthly
"The reader will be well rewarded who joins the poet in this garden by the mortal sea whence, from time to time, rifts in the clouds shows flashes from immortality." -- Robert Hillyer, The New York Times

Credible, comfortable, inspirational and indispensable.,
By gheee@aol.com (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unicorn and Other Poems (Paperback)
I write today to order three more copies of The Unicorn. You see, I keep giving my dog-eared, margin-scribbled copies away to friends who I hope will be as inspired and comforted by Lindbergh's words as I am.When my spirit is troubled, I do not need to muddle around in some author's clever obscurities. I need A.M.L. who has "been there" to talk with me in her honest, beautifully fluid way. If I could "do lunch" with any woman in history, it would be Anne Morrow Lindbergh. She would be herself and I could be me. But "two citadels stand fast."

Excellent writer - one poem THE STONE touches my soul-pain,
By A Customer
This review is from: Unicorn and Other Poems (Paperback)
The STONE touches the pain that exists in my soul as I look for the answers for the death my mother recently and the nature of our rela- tionship. Things were not good between us and now the feelings I have are like the Stone she describes, in words that touch me that I could not discover for myself.

Simple, Subtle Beauty,
By A Customer
This review is from: Unicorn and Other Poems (Paperback)
Anne Morrow Lindberghs' The Unicorn and other poems is simply beautiful; a refreshing contrast to other, more modern poets whose readers are left to ponder the signifigance of a piece. Such is not the case with The Unicorn. Near every poem is clear enough not to need explaining or deep interpretation, yet retains a subtle element of elegant simplicity. (My comments pertain most specificly pieces such as to The Man and the Child or Elegy under the Stars, but could pertain to any number more.) In a phrase: subtly awesome.
