From the creator of the beloved @PoetryIsNotaLuxury Instagram account, a gorgeously wrought poetry anthology that is a gift and a guide for readers through every season of life.
Inspired by writer and philosopher Audre Lorde's famous claim: "Poetry is not a luxury," this anthology proves the vitality of poetry as a crucial source of inspiration, comfort, and delight.
In a first section, "Summer," you'll find lush landscapes and love poems for weddings and anniversaries, alongside poems on travel, protest, and expressions of sheer joy and exhilaration. "Autumn" ushers in nostalgic poems about home and family and friendship, fall leaves, nesting and gratitude. You may turn to "Winter" should you require a poem for mourning, some lyrics for loneliness, or an ode to comfort. Rounding out a year's worth of verse is "Spring," in which you'll discover celebratory poems, in the form of praise for rain and flowers, new beginnings, and all that the future might hold.
Each poem within has been chosen from centuries of verse from around the world, with an emphasis on living poets. Friends old and new await, with selections from Rita Dove, Victoria Chang, Ross Gay, Naomi Shihab Nye, C.D. Wright, Eileen Myles, Ada Lim
