 "Poetry is not a luxury" is a quote from Audre Lorde and the inspiration for the Instagram account of the same name. This collection by the owner of that Instagram account is a wonderful anthology of mostly contemporary poets, some of the very best currently writing. Organized by season (although that is very broadly defined as many of the poems do not even reference the time of year), this is a great collection to get to know some new poets or revisit old favorites. Highly recommended.
