Poetry Will Save Your Life, A Memoir

From a seriously well-known New York Times bestselling author and poet comes “a wonderfully hybrid book: part anthology, part important research study, part autobiography” (Chicago Tribune) that is arranged around fifty-one exceptional poems by poets such as Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath.

For Jill Bialosky, specific poems stick out like signposts at turning points in a life: the death of a dad, teenage years, puppy love, leaving house, the suicide of a sis, marital relationship, the birth of a kid, the day in New York City the Twin Towers fell.

As Bialosky tells these minutes, she brightens the methods which specific poems provided insight, empathy, and connection, and demonstrates how poetry can be a plan for living. In Poetry Will Save Your Life, Bialosky remembers when she came across each developmental poem, and how its value and significance developed in time, permitting brand-new insights and understandings to emerge.

While Bialosky’s individual stories stimulate each poem, they discuss lots of universal experiences, from the awkwardness of girlhood, to crises of faith and identity, from braving a brand-new life in a foreign city to sustaining the loss of an enjoyed one, from ending up being a moms and dad to growing artistically as a poet and artist.

Each minute and poem highlight “not just how to check out poetry, however likewise how to enjoy poetry” (Christian Science Monitor). “A psychological, sometimes-wrenching account of how lines of poetry can be lifelines” (Kirkus Reviews), Poetry Will Save Your Life is an interesting and completely initial evaluation of a life while commemorating the long-lasting worth of poetry, not as a simply cerebral activity, however as a method of communicating individual experience and as a source of convenience and intimacy.

In doing so the book remarkably highlights the methods which poetry can be an essential part of life itself and can, in reality, conserve your life.
