it’s the second book in her “Woman are some kind of magic” series. The first one is called” The princess saves herself in this one” . They encourage woman and girls to take control of and write their own stories of their lives. My daughter is 15 and has both. Make great gifts for the women in your life!!
There are some good anthologies if you want to seek our poets you love. One of my favorites is “The Open Door”, a 100th anniversary retrospective from Poetry Magazine. I’d also recommend any collection of Wallace Stevens or Robert Frost. Emily Dickinson is amazing too.
My favourite is Fernando Pessoa. Second best is Pablo Neruda. And then, Reiner Maria Rilke. I usually go for collections of poetry, like their cumulated work, or selections of their best work. Try A Little Larger than the Entire Universe by Pessoa. I adore him. If you want to read his prose as well, since his prose is highly poetic, I recommend The Book of Disquiet. 🙂
@Kenny Gosh, it’s so nice to see other people appreciate it too! When I first discovered it, I knew nothing of Pessoa, but that book really opened my eyes. 🙂
I was just just at Barnes & Noble yesterday, and went to the poetry section. I like discovering poets who I hadn’t heard of or read their work before. Love poems that find me thinking about life deeply.

I understand Patricia Lockwood‘s two books are quite something. I just read her memoir „priestdaddy“ and it was at times a fall into poetry. The rest was funny or tragic. One of her poetry books is https://www.amazon.com/Motherland-Fatherland-Homelandsexuals-Penguin-Poets-ebook/dp/B00GAH3R0M/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1520840016&sr=1-3&keywords=patricia+lockwood
I think there was a very good thread about this exact question earlier in the week.
My favourite is Fernando Pessoa. Second best is Pablo Neruda. And then, Reiner Maria Rilke. I usually go for collections of poetry, like their cumulated work, or selections of their best work. Try A Little Larger than the Entire Universe by Pessoa. I adore him. If you want to read his prose as well, since his prose is highly poetic, I recommend The Book of Disquiet. 🙂
Good shout on both. The Book of Disquiet is a masterpiece.
@Kenny Gosh, it’s so nice to see other people appreciate it too! When I first discovered it, I knew nothing of Pessoa, but that book really opened my eyes. 🙂
