A review by jiayuanc
Modern Poetry: Poems by Diane Seuss

funny reflective

4.5

Sylvia Plath vibes. Gave me the same feeling of being in conversation with poet, it's the same feeling I had when I first read the brilliant Roger Reeve's Best Barbarian book of poems. 

I LOVE when a poet shows their love of reading and references other poets and authors in their work. I love a conversation of literature across the centuries. 

My favourites from this collection (in the order as listed in the book itself): 

  • Little Fugue State
  • Modern Poetry
  • My Education
  • Bluish
  • Threnody
  • Simile
  • Penetralium
  • Poetry
  • Romantic Poet
