We read a lot of British male poets in university. I do love them, but I have been making a conscious effort to look into lady poetry lately. #riotgrams day 15 poetry.

batsy These are lovely editions! 7y
Augustdana @batsy thanks! Picked them up from a second hand store and I love them. 7y
Lcsmcat I have that edition of the St. Vincent-Millay! 6y
Augustdana @Lcsmcat I got it used, and sometimes I think about the other shelves these editions have graced. It‘s a beauty inside and out. 6y

I really enjoyed this book. It has an excellent selection of Emily Dickinson's poetry and letters, and it helps you understand who she was as a person, and what drove her to write poetry.

BookishFeminist @Yamich49 Girl his angst got me through middle school & high school. How could I not? I have a book of Poe tourism on my shelves too since I'm near where he's from & may or may not have gone to a reenacted Poe reading on my birthday last year 👀 8y

I have so often found comfort in this paperback over the past two decades, that it has become soft and tattered. It smells lovely, like ink and dust and heartache.
