Readers speak out
Posted on July 1st, 2009 142 commentsComments from 7th grade students in Minneapolis MN at the City of Lakes Waldorf School. They used the book as a reader for their poetry and writing block. I also visited the class for a day to share about Kirsten as a poet and a person, and to hear their thoughts. Then I went back after I went to India and shared about that trip. I appreciate that they took the time to write their thoughts. I would welcome other students and adults adding their responses to her poems.
To tell you the truth, I had never really taken much interest in poetry until I read this book. I loved how her poetry actually meant something important - it was stories from her life. Each poem had an individual meaning to it, that was very heartfelt - some sad some filled with joy, but all of them were very beautiful and intricate. I loved how nearly every page had an extraordinary drawing to go along with it. I felt that her drawings were extremely inspiring, some delicate, some bold. Every night I got excited to sit down and read another one of her poems, and each night I would share my favorite one and read it aloud to my mom who also very much enjoyed them. Overall I felt that the book was beautifully put together and told an amazing story through each poem. Hannah
I enjoyed how her poems showed the stages of her life. i loved how how she wrote poems about her friends and people she knew and how she kept it realistic. Her poems inspired me to write about whatever I want and feel comfortable about it. I’m really happy that we got to read She Would Draw Flowers because her book of poems is very inspiring to me. Hayden
I loved how the tragedy of the accident counterpoints the joy of Kirsten’s life. This book shows how you should live life to its fullest every day; sing loudly, dance with spirit, speak your mind and do what you’ve always wanted to, because you have no idea how quickly the road of life can lead over a precipice. Graham
Even though poetry isn’t my favorite type of literature, the poems drew vivid pictures in my mind. The poems and drawings as a whole were very inspirational. After reading the book I have a different perspective on what poetry is and what it can be. Ian
When I think back on reading She Would Draw Flowers I think it really made it easier for me to write creative stories and writings. I think it was a good influence on my writing. Ocean
A poem a swift melody of words residing in a smooth lulling rhythm of music. A poem explains the soul and life itself while giving details to the small and the forgotten a new description and gives the reader a new feeling about the forgotten. She would Draw Flowers gives you these thoughts and makes you remember the forgotten and gives it a new cover to its story Christian
She would draw flowers was a fun book to read. The letter in the beginning was very interesting I liked that the poems changed as her life went on The poems told the story of her life. Joey
I liked the book She Would Draw Flowers. The drawings were very cool. I like the way you can tell how she’s feeling. But at the same time, that gave us a view of the bad ties as well as the good. Oscar
Reading She Would Draw Flowers was a wonderful and powerful experience. Looking at her poems and pictures inspired me to write about Kirsten’s life and death - to think about her hopes and dreams. It showed me that you should strive for your dreams, no mtter what life gives you. Lilli
I really liked She Would Draw Flowers. It was interesting how the mood of the poems changed with her life. One of my favorite parts was the letter at the beginning of the book. I was amazed how the poems told the story of her life. Griffin
She Would Draw Flowers was a very fun book to read because it really told the story of her life. l liked the letter in the beginning of the book. although it was quite sad. The book really tells how Kirsten’s personality was. Sam
To read Kirsten Bergh’s poems really gave me a different perspective on how someone other than myself thought. When Linda came in and told us the history behind Kirsten’s writing, it really gave me something to think about, like why she wrote an ode to Ringo Starr or why a poem to her friend mentions iced grapefruit chapstick. You can feel so much of her feelings in her poems, and the illustrations are just as beautiful as the writing. Alesandra
