What Kind of Woman: Poems
by Kate Baer
I‘ve never been a fan of poetry… it’s not something I’m drawn to and any time I’ve picked up poetry in the past, I’ve lost interest 2 minutes into it. Give me any type of genre beside poetry and I’m good.
“What Kind of Woman” threw me for a loop. Such a beautiful, engaging and relatable collection of poetry, I’ve read this not once, not twice, but three times this year. It’s been my “palette cleanser” of reading when I’ve finished a book, am not motivated to pick up a new one, yet also feel compelled to read *something*. With every read, I’ve been hooked and always sad when it ends. There’s beauty in how quick you can devour this collection.
Hauntingly beautiful, these poems brought me to tears at times, and made me chuckle in self-recognition at others. I felt seen as a woman, as a mother and as a wife. My heart ached. Each poem can stand alone but the author strings them together so perfectly, it’s like you’re reading a story that unfolds in your hands.
Highly recommend reading these out loud - there’s something lyrical and magical about each one.
If poetry isn’t your jam but you want to dip your toe into the waters, read this gem.
