Give Me a God I Can Relate to by Blythe Baird
4.0
This was a beautiful collection of poems. I love Blythe Baird's blunt, honest voice and her amazing truths about being female.
I found her poem "Pocket-sized Feminist" on YouTube, and after watching every slam poem she had on YouTube I decided to pick up this book.
My favourite poem was definitely 'Theories About The Universe' because it shocked me so much. It at first seemed such an innocent poem and then this changed so drastically.
I would definitely recommend reading this book in the order they are laid out in, because you kind of learn more about her in each poem and it kind of develops as you progress through each poem. There were some poems that I wasn't that keen on, but that's not to say they were bad, they just didn't have such a big impact on me personally. However, she has changed my view on poetry and I will definitely pick up anything else she releases in the future.
