Wanda Coleman | 2021

Book Favorite

"Wanda was my mentor and has such a sharp, vicious, lyrical voice, her poems almost come off the page and sing to you. I revisit this book often. Wanda was and is considered the voice of Los Angeles. She wrote about everything from growing up in the tough neighborhood of Watts California, to writing for a soap opera, to the objectification and marginalization of not only being a woman, but a woman of color."

T.S. Eliot | 2015 | Fiction & Poetry

"This was one of the first poems I read that gave me the shock of recognition that great poets offer. “Withered stumps of time,” “I will show you fear in a handful of dust,” “these fragments I have shored against my ruins.” I even like the obscurity of parts of the poem that have unraveled throughout my life when reading other books and ancient myths. It’s a modern epic from ancient history."

I enjoy reading Sylvia Plath. She has a great writing style that really digs deep. It is so full of pain and sorrow, it's very masterful. I had read a lot of these poems before for other classes and back in high school, so it was cool to come back to them after so long and see them a different way.

I would recommend these to people who want to look at the world in a different perspective.
