Like the Heart, the World by Sage Cohen

Like the Heart, the World by Sage Cohen felt like a meditation. The poems explore inner life and outer life through the intersection of experience and reaction. Cohen's poems feel like they describe a life both lived and observed. Having attended a workshop taught by Cohen and read several of her nonfiction books, I was excited to read her book of poetry. My excitement was rewarded with a book of poetry that was easy to read and relate to. I looked forward to my poetry reading time every night that I was reading Like the Heart, the World and felt a little sad but also satisfied when I reached the end. Like the Heart, the World walks a fine line between emotional connection and thoughtful detachment without stumbling over the places where emotions detach and thoughts connect.
