I'm definitely on a poetry kick. There are some seriously wonderful poems published by Uncanny! I read all four and definitely recommend giving them all a chance. I do find there's not enough poetry these days. Which is such a shame. Poetry's so fantastic. #poetrystan
'Steeped in Stars' by Hal Y. Zhang was beautiful. Some great turns of phrase!

Jennifer Crow's 'Red Berries' was also wonderful.

Cassandra Khaw's 'A Letter from One Woman to Another' was fantastic. This one was probably my favourite from this collection! There's something very raw and brutal about it.
