I don't tend to read poetry but "The Fish," by Elizabeth Bishop, is one of my favorites. Strolling through the library, I decided to pick up a collection of hers and I very much enjoyed it. Her poetic voice rings true for me personally, and I connect to the rhythm and words to most of her works viscerally. The last section of this collection I skipped. It was called "translations," and each poem appeared to be a work translated to English by another author. I was more interested in her own poems, so I read up to that last section. I don't remember all poem styles or functions, but even so, with my limited schooling on poetry and my casual reading, and like her work very much. ( )
