Lrs35 - Crying About Fictional Characters

“you‘re so quiet” baby i’m not even here. i’m fantasizing about a book i read weeks ago. move on.

who r ur fav poets!? ive been wanting to start read some poetry and i find myself scrolling thru ur poetry tag sometimes :3

ahh thank you for asking!!! here are a few of my faves, i hope you like them! please feel free to come back and let me know what u think <3

richard siken (obviously) — like i think if you're on tumblr you're probably already familiar with siken's work, but. his stuff just Hits and i've read and reread and highlighted and annotated both of his books so many times. recommended poem: litany in which certain things are crossed out

grendel menz — i think comics poetry is really cool and does not get enough recognition as a genre of poem (or as a genre of comic)!!! and grendel's stuff is always fucking incredible. hits 100% of the time. recommended poem: mirror resurrected

ocean vuong — i still haven't read his latest, but night sky with exit wounds is def among my fave poetry collections. recommended poem: home wrecker

sophie collins — i read this poem for the first time a couple years ago and it's lodged itself in my brain completely. it's such a stunning and heartbreaking exploration of a very specific location, and the last couple lines destroy me every time i read it. recommended poem: healers

emily berry — i'm torn on which poem i want to recommend you of hers so i'm giving you two, because i think her work works best when it's read together and you can get an idea of her voice. so. recommended poem(s): tragedy for one voice (one of my favorite poems of all time) & bad new government

ada limón — if you've scrolled through my poetry tag you've definitely seen a ton of her stuff! i need to buy more of her books (i only own bright dead things). recommended poem: the conditional

i need to read more poetry too, honestly, so if anyone has any recs for me i would love to hear them! :^)

“I was talking with the guys in the band yesterday, and I asked, them, ‘Do you ever look around and see other people doing things like getting their dinner and think, ”She’s normal; he’s normal; he’s normal; she’s normal…they're…all…so…well…adjusted"?’  Which I know isn’t true; I know that everybody’s fucked-up in their own way, but that’s just the way my mind works. I’m always looking at other people, thinking, ‘They don’t do the weird shit I do; it must be so cool to live like that.’“ ~ Fiona Apple, Interview Alternative Press - Oct 1997
