If My Body Could Speak | Blythe Baird

pick

Usually when I belt in to read poetry, I am prepared for there to be at least 3 out of 10 poems that I could live without. But this is a solid collection of hard hitting poetry that addresses harsh realities of being female, queer, and dealing with mental illness and societal pitfalls. Definite trigger warnings, but, at least for me, very much worth reading. Each poem has movement, purpose, and eloquent emotion.

LoverofLit I've really been impressed with Button Poetry authors. Rudy Francisco's Helium is really great. I'm currently reading A Love Song, A Death Rattle, A Battle Cry and really liking it too!

Helium

the.bookish.valkyrie @LoverofLit those are both on my TBR! Did you know they an app, Button TV, that‘s like Netflix for spoken word poetry? Another author I love from Button is Rachel Wiley

Blythe Baird says all the things I need to say/hear. She‘s definitely become one of my favorite poets.💕

Reggie Omg this was like a slap in the face. I‘m such a slave to labels but have to remind myself that whatever anybody says they are or are not is really none of my business. 6y
