Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated milk and honey in Books
Dec 10, 2018
All in all, this was an easy read but I was hoping to feel more as I read it. I found I only really identified with a handful of the poems and felt like many of the shorter ones were there as page filler to make the book seem longer. I really enjoyed all the artwork, however, and I'll probably end up reading her next book to see how her writing has evolved. I just ended up feeling like this sort of fell short of the hype that was created around it, however, I understood why a lot of women could identify with the poems.

I love Frank O'Hara. He may be one of my favorite poets from the post-modernist era. I love how he isn't as dark and gloomy as the other poets during this time period.
This was a great, small collection of poems that is easily read very quickly.

I instantly loved this book. It's a collection of love poems with the feel of free-verse poetry. Some of them are sad, others are sweet, still others are affectionate. But all of them resonate with passion and intimacy. This would be a perfect valentines gift for that special someone!
