Okay my poetry fans!
My 11 year old niece is obsessed with Emily Dickinson. She loves how "soft" her words are (her description) I am on the hunt for other - age appropriate - similar poets. I keep picking up and putting back things when I see a lot of violence (or randomly the word clitoris in a sentence it has no business be in? Is that an adjective now??)
All suggestions appreciated! ❤️

MatchlessMarie When I was her age I found a book written in poems I really loved at my library called Girl Coming in for a Landing I‘ll tag it here. For the longest time it was my “book with a blue cover” mystery because I couldn‘t remember what it was called for the longest time 😂Girl Coming in for a Landing: A Novel in Poems 7d
