Old Monarch: Poems by Courtney Marie Andrews

2.0

Courtney Marie Andrews has such a way of writing lush, descriptive scenes that made the poems so vivid in the mind's eye. I could so clearly see the mid-west country side, and feel the nostalgia on every page. With that said, I just don't think that this collection was for me. I couldn't quite feel the rhythm in the poems, and sometimes it felt like essays with poetry-like line breaks. Post reading this, I learned that Andrews is a singer-songwriter, and I think that her fans should definitely check this collection out (as I imagine there are shared themes with her music and poetry.)
