What Kind of Woman: Poems
by Kate Baer
Thank you Harper Perennial for the opportunity to read this collection!
It is not often when you come across a collection of poems that just speak to you. What Kind of Woman by Kate Baer is a collection of poems broken up into three parts. Part one is being a woman. Part two is being a wife. Part three is being a mother. While these poems really speak to women, they are for everyone. It can be an experience in the minds of women.
I would read a few poems every day and would end up thinking about them until I read more the next day. This is one of those collections that will stay with you.
In part one, one of the favorites is: Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels
“have you ever tasted the cool swill of
freedom? The consuming rush of a
quiet, radical love…”
NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS
My favorite from the second part is: For The Advice Cards At Bridal Showers
“This is not a happy ending. This is not a fairy tale. This is the beginning
of a life you haven’t met.”
FOR THE ADVICE CARDS AT BRIDAL SHOWERS
And finally, in the third part: Transfiguration
“I dreamt myself into a mother,
but when I became her, I had to
dream her back into a woman”
TRANSFIGURATION
This collection gets all the stars. I couldn’t recommend it enough!
