POEMS POEMS POEMS (/◕ヮ◕)/ Seriously, why don't I read poetry more often? I've read so many poems this weekend and I have missed poetry. *chef's kiss*

I'm slowly working my way through these, so I'll update the review as I read more. :)

June 2020

'Found Discarded: A Love Poem, Questionably Addressed' by Cassandra Khaw was absolutely breath-taking.

The Greeks believed
that a human being
is one entity unseamed at the spine,
opened at the breastbone, parted at
the lips, which is why we spend all our lives pressing
together at the hips, at the fingertips

RIGHT?! How lush. I'm in awe. Read it here.

'The Fairies in the Crawlspace' by Beth Cato is so dark and twisted and really, really well done. If

you like Grimm's faerie tales, this one is for you.
the fairies needed no web
to snare the girl

Read it here.

די ירושה by Sonya Taaffe by short and poignant. I really liked it!

History drops a hot potato in your hands,
tells you to walk uphill with it, both ways.

Read it here.

I really liked 'The Sea Never Says It Loves You' by Fran Wilde. Poems about the sea are some of my favourites.

But the water is warm and the salt spray tastes your lips
And you say yes.

Read it here.

October 2020

'A View from Inside the Refrigerator' by Andrea Tang is fabulous! I really loved the imagery Tang evokes. Definitely recommend!

Peasant made paladin, lab rat made metal-skinned man
Woman’s murder made proxy for hero’s ordeal

It's available online here. ( )

Not a review. Includes my poem "Fairies in the Crawlspace."
