pick#FeelinTheLove Day 26: #SisterLove - This shared womanity or sense of girlhood is evident in the tagged book I read for #DecolonizeBookshelves - irrespective of one‘s skin color, to be female is to belong to “the ranks of the wretched.” One of the really great titles I read from the list of “Decolonize Your Bookshelf in 50 Books.” My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-opq
I‘m really hoping that the #bookspin gods are kind to me and pick books that are already on my March TBR. Between library books with due dates that can‘t be extended, books clubs/buddy reads, NetGalley books that publish this month, and my library system‘s annual Community Reads program, my schedule is already packed. In fact, looking at this makes me so stressed, I may bail on everything and just watch Netflix. 😂
repost for @PuddleJumper:
April is National Poetry Month so #QueerBC is going to celebrate queer poets and poems
You can suggest 3 individual poems. These can be by queer authors or about queer experiences
Then suggest 1 poet and people can read anything they‘ve written
At the end we‘ll vote on which poet to read and then have a top 3 list of poems … maybe, not figured that out
https://forms.gle/W4AWJwPSr5qaJiJa9
Open until March 23rd
pick3.5 Stars • Frank O'Hara's "Selected Poems" is all about capturing life's moments as they happen, especially in New York City. His poems are like personal chats or diary entries, mixing everyday life with art and culture. He writes about things like having lunch or hearing about Billie Holiday's death, making everyday stuff seem poetic. ⬇️

so-soSome of these poems were profound and I had a lot of fun analyzing them and their meaning, others felt poorly edited, disjointed, and vulgar for the sake of vulgarity. Some also felt heavily inspired by Lana Del Rey's lyrics. I would not really recommend this poetry collection, there are better poetry collections out there.

Last week was pretty productive in terms of reading. I finished Archmage and started a contemporary poetry collection because I wanted to read something different for a bit. I will wait until I finish it to really have any solid thoughts on it, but it has been an interesting experience.

I‘m still in 1920s New York City, but now in the world of dark corners, crumbs on the floor, spiders and rats and the perspective of a poet reincarnated as a cockroach. It‘s oddly adorable.
