The Good Lord Bird by James McBride
5.0
this was simultaneously hilarious and thought provoking. McBride’s prose is genius, i’ve never devoured something for class so quickly!
In Her Feminine Sign by Dunya Mikhail
5.0
this collection was haunting beautiful. it was an unfortunate timely read between reading Mikhail’s poems and updates on the ongoing war in Ukraine. Mikhail is brutally honest about the horrors of war after fleeing her home country of Baghdad, and to me this entire collection reads as an ode to the victims of war. it is a gesture of remembrance so that not only do we remember those who were lost and those who survive in grief, but also as a reminder of the reality of war, especially for those who do not experience it so intimately. i can’t wait to get my hands on more of Mikhail’s collections now!
Frank: Sonnets by Diane Seuss
5.0
wow. i am so incredibly inspired by diane seuss. her writing is simultaneously heartbreaking and funny. this collection made me laugh and loud and even get a little weepy. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone wanting to get into reading poetry.
