Old Monarch: Poems by Courtney Marie Andrews

4.0

this poetry collection is so yeehaw i loved every moment !! even when i couldn’t relate or connect to a poem i could appreciate its beauty and reflection of slow living. My favorites were the silver lining of suffering, in small moments, and the houses we build:

“I no longer wait for lovers to leave or for the earth to rattle beneath me. i am here to tell you what a relief it is.”

Courtney Marie Andrews is one of my all time favorite artists so loving her poetry wasn’t surprising, but I am so happy i got to witness her art in a new form.
