Diana Fitzgerald Bryden : part five

When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?

I love Wislawa Szymborska. She makes me feel there's no shame in being human. Especially her poem Four a.m. If you've ever suffered from insomnia I would recommend it. Elizabeth Bishop's poem, One Art, always moves me. And Derek Walcott's book White Egrets has a number of elegies in it that mean more and more to me as I get older.
