I LOVED EVERY SECOND of this book - I hate poetry .. hate it ever much, but this was a pleasure to read and oh so relevant to life and everywhere you turn. Oh my word, this was just unreal. I can't even. I got this from the library but now I'm looking for the hardcover for my collection I enjoyed it that much!

"This collection of poetry and prose is a little like going for a long hike out into the redwoods and coming upon a beautiful library, well lit, and cozy and there’s no one but you and all these amazing books that you are welcome to read as long as you treat everything with the respect it deserves. Wouldn’t that be an amazing experience?"

"I love sonnets, with their iambic pentameter. This collection has most of her best-known works, but my favorite “I Shall Go Back Again to the Bleak Shore,” is in her Selected Poems edition. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923, only the third woman to do so. All her life she was an activist for women’s rights."

Normally, I skip past Our Shared Shelf book club picks, because they rarely interest me. I figured that I like poetry, and everyone talks about how much they love this collection, that I'd give it a try.
Thank god it only took me 30 minutes to read. I liked some of it, I felt like it started strong, but then it turned into tumblr/twitter poetry that should have one of those scenic pictures behind it. Maybe I'd be more impressed if I didn't write very similar poetry after a break up forever ago. Also, who is telling this chick that she needs to shave? How many times did it really need to be brought up? That was the nail in the coffin for me.

If I hadn't had higher expectations, I may have rated it higher but... no.
