Fetch Sky And Earth Cielo Y Tierra: Poems Poemas Narrated By Christina Watkins Accessible In Document

want to start this review by saying that I won this book on a Goodreads giveaway,

This was a very insightful book of poems,

I like how the author decided to make three sections for the different types of poems to go in, The reader is really able to I've deep in each section and read a variety of poems about each topic which makes the journey of reading these poems all that more memorable.


Each section has a maximum ofpoems, none of which are long to read, therefore making this book the perfect book of poems for anyone to read, wether you have a lot of time to spare or are on a super busy schedule the entire book can be finished inminutes.


The illustrations in this book of poems are stunning even though there aren't many of them and each poem leaves you wanting to read the next.


Some poems do stand out more than others for me, They are called "SmallEyedBoy", "Far Traveler" and "Wild Mysteries", My favourite poem which really resonated from the bunch to me is "To My Mother", It is so full of feeling and you can really tell the author put her heart and soul into this piece, as well as all the other poems in this book as well.


I also really like that the author has the poems in English on one side of the page, and on the page facing it, has the Spanish version of the same poem.
I do not know how to speak much Spanish, however I love learning, especially languages which is why I find this concept really interesting, You get to read the poem in English first so you can enjoy it and discover the meaning of the poem, and then you can attempt to read it in Spanish learn a thing or two, wether it is how some words are written or to try to practice pronouncing them.
It was very helpful and insightful, I have not seem this done in any other book,

It is a definite must read, Published poet Christina Watkins's new book released through Xlibris, SKY AND EARTH CIELO Y TIERRA, is a collection of lyrical poems written in both English and Spanish.
The languages face each other, one on one side of the page, the other across from it, The spiritual and reflective nature of the poems suits this unusual format, The poems in, SKY AND EARTH CIELO Y TIERRA, were written over many years and provide the reader with a sense of being on a journey with the poet.
The piece "To My Mother" uses garden imagery to convey the depth of experience and love mother and daughter share, "Western Dancing" is a sassy little poem about what it is like for a woman to dance always backward as is the style in some parts of the southwestern United States.
"LoveSpeak" warns of what can happen if words are spoken carelessly, "Small BrownEyed Boy" tenderly describes a beloved small boy who grows up to face circumstances similar to those Jesus faced at the end of his life.
The poems are romantic in the way they use landscape, particularly the landscape of the southwestern United States and Mexico, although there are eastern images here too.
The poems exhibit both lightness and depth, There is the feeling of loneliness growing into solitude and of the rhythm of dancing moving into wisdom and love, SKY AND EARTH CIELO

Y TIERRA inspires and comforts as it prompts the reader to reflect on life lived, Line drawings by Lucy Billingsley fit the meaning and feeling of the writing delightfully, For more information, please visit www, skyandearthcieloytierra. com.
