Note: This is only ¼th of the hockey OT3 poem, but it's my favourite part so it gets its own post.

love all the poems!! do you have any poetry book recs??

HI YEA HERES A POETRY REC GO WATCH THIS VIDEO ITS SHORT AND ITS BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT VERY MUCH

sorry for yelling

I've already done a few rounds of these - most recent one can be found here - so I'll try not to mention all the same books again & instead give you a quick list of poetry books I've been reading lately & that I've enjoyed.

Louise Glück is of course a forever favourite, Averno used to be my favourite collection of hers, but I'm slowly coming around to Ararat.

Ada Limón, The Hurting Kind (& if you like this check out Bright Dead Things)

Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing

Traci Brimhall, Come the Slumberless to the Land of Nod. (didn't think I was going to like this but I DID)

Diana Khoi Nguyen, Ghost Of (Suicide TW. A lot of the poems in this collection are formatted either in the shape of a person or written around the empty shape of a person. The poet explains that two years before he committed suicide, her brother cut himself out of every family photo. Visually stunning but so so so heartbreaking)

Keaton Henson, Idiot Verse (first poetry book I ever bought. still lovely)

Carlo Rovelli has a book called The Order of Time that's technically more popsci. than poetry but it still goes on this list. In a similar vein: The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking) by Katie Mac

Li-Young Lee, Rose (forever favourite)

ALSO!! VERY IMPORTANT!! NEW SIKEN POEMS COMING SOON!

W.S. Merwin, The Shadow of Sirius

That's all for now. If you're looking for more poetry, I have a poetry rec tag for all the poems that have been recommended to me by my followers & mutuals. Worth checking that out.

Much love. x
