So Beautiful it Hurts

Kenyon's poetry is hauntingly beautiful. The relatively short poems are so elegant you'll feel guilty for rushing through them the first time. With each read after the first, they unveil more feeling. I read Kenyon's works and grow sadder with the knowledge of her absence today, and how much we have lost without her words.

Quietly Good

Kenyon's art is worth the time and energy to read and enjoy. Her poetry is soft, meditative, instantly available to readers, but like pleasant shallow waters, deep and evanescent. If you are in a quiet, still, meditative mood (or want to be), Kenyon's poetry is pleasant and relaxing.
