Modern Poetry: Poems by Diane Seuss

5.0

When I am in a reading funk, I just need to crack open Seuss, any Seuss collection, and then BAM! She blows me into a whole new dimension. Her poems, language, and her choices open up a fissure into possibility. She breaks rules, creates new rules, and then breaks them again. She takes old tired cliches and makes fun of them, or honors them, and then makes fun of them again!

Seuss is breaking new ground with every book she writes, every poem. I feel like I'm a child again waiting for the new Harry Potter book to publish, but now I'm waiting every other year for a Seuss book to come out to find out what strange and exciting corners and lines she's decided to cross over and give everyone the middle finger while she does it.

I can't recommend her books more. Modern Poetry is just another one to add to your TBR, and then read it, don't wait for later. When you'll read it, you'll wish you read it sooner.
