Thanks for this Ruth, including the reading recommendations. I am a lazy reader and poet and your writing has me wanting to work harder to improve.♥️
As regards "noticing" , one thing that really stuck with me from reading Iris Murdoch was the difference she pointed out between seeing and looking. A big reason I fumble around with poetry is that it requires me to do more of the former and not just settle for the later.

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes that's a great distinction. Iris Murdoch is one of my favourite authors too :)
