Tasting the Earth

"Tasting the Earth" by Mona Gould is a book of poems shaped by feelings of love, heartache, and memories, as well as what it means to be human. The poems talk a lot about the ups and downs people went through in their lives, especially during a time when the world was at war, and highlight our desire for peace and getting along with each other. With strong images and emotional writing, Gould shows us what it feels like to love someone and what it's like to deal with grief, while her poems, like the emotional "This Was My Brother" and thought-provoking"Tasting the Earth", invite us to think about life and death and everything in between.
