I'm sure someone has asked you this before but top 5 books of poetry?

i feel like i don’t need to tell abt crush by richard siken for the umpteenth time so i’ll stick to recent favorites!

ballast, quenton baker - incredible erasure poetry about a slave revolt

after nature, w.g. sebald - dense, layered, weaving narratives; tricky with its syntax but rewarding

all the flowers kneeling, paul tran - gender & trauma & myth, truly beautiful images

mothman apologia, robert wood lynn - appalachian identity & the opioid crisis, pretty accessible imo

the world keeps ending, and the world goes on, franny choi - climate apocalypse considered with care & compassion, very clear-eyed and lovely

Mothman Apologia, Robert Wood Lynn

[dk-thrive]

When we started, when you started here with me, we had such hopes. Such uses for logic. Like gulps of air. Like body parts and places to put them. I escaped from you like a reason. Like bone does from a fossil. I ached to become a ghost and when I did I even ghosted the long pauses. Hush hush. I wrote silence down instead of speaking it. I write silence and the silence answers with more silence. I write inhales. I write the pauses and then haunt them too, until they stay quiet and afraid in their corners. Pause, I write. And pause silences pause.
