In Herbaceous players are trying to grow and then store a variety of different herbs in order to gain points. There is a community garden which is accessible to all players, as well as a player’s private garden from which other players can not take herbs.

Each turn a player takes two cards, one at a time from the top of the deck. When they draw the first card they have to decide whether they want to place it in the community garden, for any player to use, or whether they want to place it in their private garden. The second card they draw must go in the area their first card did not.

After the first few turns, when there are more cards in play, at the start of their turn a player can decide to pot herbs in one of their containers. Each container has different rules for the type of herb which can be planted there. One container must have herbs all of the same type planted in there whilst another must have herbs of different types planted. A third container requires pairs of different herbs to be planted. The fourth container can have three of any herb in, but is the only place where special herbs, worth bonus points, can be placed.

Players can pot herbs from the community garden, their private garden or a combination of the two. But once the herbs have been potted they are stored underneath the container and cannot be used by the other players. There is therefore an element of “push your luck” in Herbaceous as players try to wait for the biggest collection of herbs possible, whilst making sure they take them before other players get there.

At the end of the game players add up points from their containers and any special herbs. The player with the most points wins.

Sublime Poetry Slightly Flawed by Format
Format: Paperback
I hate to give this work anything less than 5-stars, because at the moment (and probably most future moments) I revere James Wright's poetry. He makes blue collar blackened river Ohio come alive riven death with darkness and life. So this book is a must for poetry lovers. Where it distracts me is the attempts at completeness is a difficult editor's dilemma and one that doesn't serve the poet or the poet's reader well here. There are two James Wright's out there (this book presents three), as is true with most sublimated artist that pass through a learning phase before hitting on their voice, their style. James Wright started as a formalist (not my favored style) hailing structure and rhyme sometimes at the expense of meaning and language (disclaimer...one man's humble opinion belies a personal taste and no two taste buds seem the same). The book of course being a complete work, offers all of those poems of bandied prose. And then the editor offers a bridge or break of sorts in Wright's translated works of German and Spanish poets. Wright was a great poet in English, but the gift of gifted translation should have been left to the likes of W.S. Merwin, Anthony Kerrigan, Charles Tomlinson, and Stephen Mitchell for Neruda, Paz, and Rilke. So, Wright's "Above the River," really first breaks the surface on page 119 after his epiphany to all thing free form. It is then that his poetry sings darkly. I leave you with some of Wright's beautiful language (there's plenty to be had). Buy the book for the rest. In Fear of Harvests It has happened Before: nearby, The nostrils of slow horses Breathe evenly, And the brown bees drag their high garlands, Heavily, Toward hives of snow.

A Twentieth Century Teasure
Format: Paperback
James Wright's poems are acts of courage. His persistent advocacy of the underdog is real and clear-eyed(American Twilights 1957, written fo the executed killer Caryl Chessman). "Arrangements with Earth for Three Dead Friends" is one of the most moving elegies I know in the language (taken from his early career). Then there are the wonderful and luminous translations "ten Short Poems: from the Spanish of Juan Ramon Jiminez, Pablo Neruda's "Anguish of Death", Cesar Vallejo's "I Am Freed" and many others. These are vital and wide-ranging poems that belong in every library.

Wow! Wright Rocks!
Format: Paperback
This collection brings together both the greater & lesser known works of James Wright so that students or lovers of poetry can get a true feeling for his style & focus. Some pieces seem less focused, while others hone in with cruel beauty on those moments where the literal and the figurative worlds collide. Brilliant poet. I recommend this book especially to serious students of poetry.
