may I ask for a poem recommendation and where you usually read it? the poems you shared are excellent and make me want to read them myself... :D thank you!

Imagine if I told you that I’ve never picked up a book of poetry—what would your reaction be? Well, that’s true tho, I have never read a book of poetry. I used to read posts exclusively when I opened Tumblr (few years ago). And now, I frequently read it on Pinterest when I accidentally saw it pop up on my homepage or https://www.poetryfoundation.org/ I recommend reading Elegies by Douglas Dunn and Good Bones by Maggie Smith. A TMI, but some time ago, I stumbled upon an exquisite piece of writing by Kelli Russell Agodon titled Although Poisonous, the Black Widow Is Not Considered Aggressive. I force you to read that one too. That’s so beautiful.
