A collection made up of mini collections! This comes in parts, and covers a wide variety of topics from mythological women to a dying father. I've always enjoyed Atwood's poetry more than her prose, and this is no exception. The writing is cool and clear, but there are some lovely turns of phrase hidden in that apparent simplicity. Her poetry always looks so effortless, though I know that it can't be.

My favourite was "Half-hanged Mary", but "February" is one that I think I'll keep remembering too.
