Caitlin Ann Cherniak (85 KP) rated Limericks Haiku and Other Short Poems in Books
Oct 21, 2018
I won this book in a Kindle giveaway, and I'm mixed when it comes to this book. There are a bunch of beautiful and funny short poems in here, but then there are a few that are either repetitive or made me ask, "Why does this exist?" I'm still gonna keep this book, so I can share it with friends, but I'm probably not gonna read this over and over again.

Ari Augustine (10 KP) rated Lord of the Butterflies in Books
May 4, 2020
Gibson's poems hit you right in the heart. They're raw, blunt, unyielding in their insight of violence, love, loss, gender, sexuality, and so much more. Some of my favorites include: Ode to the Panic Attack and America Wakes Me In the Middle of the Night. Both spoke to my own anxieties and I felt those two pieces of poetry really spoke to everyone at some point in their lives.

Lottie disney bookworm (1056 KP) rated Wonderland: Alice in Poetry in Books
Nov 27, 2019
Can anybody truly say,
Had you never come our way,
Alice, where we'd be today?
If you love Alice and Wonderland then this is the book for you. Some poems you will know, such as the iconic 'The Walrus and the Carpenter' but there are also some new pieces, inspired by the classic tale, waiting to be discovered.
This collections comprises of 53 poems which was much larger than I was expecting. Obviously, OBVIOUSLY a lot of these are penned by Lewis Carroll: it would be sacrilegious otherwise. However, I was impressed by the inclusion of modern poets in order to appeal to the younger reader: even Facebook gets a mention!
The illustrations by Sir John Tenniel are perfect and I loved the italic additions throughout the book which educate the reader as to the inspiration behind the verses.
An anthology of fantasy; this collection is perfect for our busy lives when we need a quick five minutes of escapism.

Jenny Saville recommended The Waste Land in Books (curated)
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.

Dana (24 KP) rated The Waste Land in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I have had to read this poem for so many of my classes, and each time I read it, I learn something new about the poem itself. This time, I noticed a lot of the color allusions and how often they are used. Honestly, the first time I read this poem, I hated it, but it has started to grow on me.
If you like TS Eliot, or super confusing poems, give this one a read!
