Queen for a Day: Selected and New Poems by Denise Duhamel

4.0

“it was just the alabaster moon, a little girl, and a young woman. / it was definitely one of those “therapeutic i” moments. / a moment that would have reminded gardner / of a much better literary moment, maybe something / that shakespeare wrote about with more flair.”

i was gifted this collection by my professor for my advanced poetry workshop and it was such a joy to read, especially knowing it was handpicked for me by someone who knows my poetry intimately. duhamel has such a direct way of writing that is so evocative.
