Song of the Sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() I went to the bookstore and read the first page. Truthfully, I tend to like my modern poetry short and to the point. I could bore you to tears with my obsession with the entire Arthurian legend, but who needs that on a Friday afternoon? The thing is, when I heard this retelling was, like Tennyson's version, told entirely in verse, I was no longer so sure. I mean, I'm nothing if not up for a good Camelot tale. When I heard about a retelling of Tennyson's " Lady of Shalott," I was so in. The fun thing is lots of friends have read (and reviewed) it since, and so I was able to trip through their lovely thoughts and remember my own. I decided to address that situation today. I read it shortly after it was first published, back in 2007, when I was writing monthly posts, mere collections of mini-reviews. ![]() But I actually read it for the first time way back in the olden days before the blog was, well, what it is now. Chances are, if you've hung around these parts, you've heard me push it. So this is a book I've spent a lot of time talking about. ![]()
