I like poetry, but tend to reread favorites instead of exploring new poems. This collection, however, is rooted in the familiar but also seems fresh, like spring.<br /><br />Wonderful review--well done :)JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-30572423276589737432016-05-01T07:54:36.002-07:002016-05-01T07:54:36.002-07:00Wonderful post and I agree that Spring is a sublim...Wonderful post and I agree that Spring is a sublime. I have never read Jane Eyre but have a copy on my shelves. <br />The Jane and Bertha in Me sounds like an interesting poetry collection. Sounds like you enjoyed it :)<br />I've just finished reading the poems of Anne Sexton and will be posting about that soon. <br />Happy weekend my friend!

I am coming through the blog tour, ...Hallo, Hallo!<br /><br />I am coming through the blog tour, as my stop was this morning. I loved writing my piece about this collection of poetry, because Ms Martinez wrote such a thought-provoking collection of poems; a few of which stood out to me as being the best parallels between the original canon and her interpretation. <br /><br />Although, our personal favourites and our reactions differed from each other, I loved reading your review, because you put as much heart into this response on it's behalf as I did - and I could see, you enjoyed your visit amongst the poems whose depth of magnitude were befitting the author who inspired them.<br /><br />I'm finalising my thoughts on behalf of <i> Jane Eyre</i> before moving into a series of after canon sequels - for me, Jane Eyre will always be representative of feminist ideals grounded by faith and for being a beacon of hope. <br /><br />Loved how you inter-related your review with outside materials and your own experiences with both <i> Jane Eyre</i> and the attributes of poetry!<br /><br /><a href="http://jorielovesastory.com/2016/04/22/blog-book-tour-bronte200-jane-and-bertha-in-me-by-rita-maria-martinez" rel="nofollow">Visit my review.</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-83859844353206188012016-04-22T12:09:24.778-07:002016-04-22T12:09:24.778-07:00I am eager to read this collection, especially aft...I am eager to read this collection, especially after reading your thoughts on it, Suko.

I like ...Superb commentary on this book of poetry.<br /><br />I like the ideas of basing a book of verse of such an important work as Jane Eyre.<br /><br />I read the novel for the first time within the last couple of years.<br /><br />In terms of gender, in my opinion the book had such profound things to say about the masculine and feminine. This is just one of the ways that it can be considered a feminist work. <br /><br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-41605925535688762812016-04-17T08:43:04.802-07:002016-04-17T08:43:04.802-07:00Great review Suko.

There is so much to see in the poems. I can see why you wanted your own physical copy. Very nice review, Suko. Harveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490108303790217277noreply@blogger.com
