I recently reviewed Compass, New and Selected Poems by Erik
Hansen. I haven’t read a book of poetry in quite awhile so I was happy to be so
fond of Compass.

Compass is a collection of poems written
by Erik Hansen from 1987 to present day. Hansen’s fondness for the outdoors is
prominent in his poetry. His writing arouses the senses and sweeps you along a
whimsical journey. Passion, nature, and nostalgia are the primary themes of
Compass. The title perfectly matches the poetry. The poems navigate an
excursion guided by the poet.
Hansen’s words feel natural and hold a beautiful rhythm. They invoke a
multitude of emotions and paint alluring imagery. Each line dances together,
creating an intense swirl of excitement. Compass is an invitation to Hansen’s
world and each poem is an unlocked door for us to open, enter, and explore. It’s
a magical place that I won’t forget.

Sound good I like poetry.
It sounds like a very nice book of poetry
I'll have to check this book out. Did you have a favorite poem?
Kelly, it's hard to narrow down a favorite but I think it would be a poem called Storm Clouds Over Elsinore :)
Looks like a great read! I'm always interested in checking out new things in the poetry genre.
