I'm curious to see if we all have any common interests:)
..
I'm currently reading "Ariel" by Sylvia Plath and my favorite genres have to be feminist and confessional. My favorite form is free verse/unstructured.

So I’ve just organised my books a bit:
Here is my currently reading pile:
M reading “Altar“ by George Eklund, published by Finishing Line Press.
my favorite poetry is usually somewhat abstract, like written paintings. I don’t care if it is linear and “makes sense” entirely throughout. I love the abstractions that make me scratch my head and bring me back. It’s like a painting that you can’t stop staring at despite not knowing what the picture is
I'm currently reading Where Hope Comes From by Nikita Gill. There's a poem about 2020 and it made me cry.
I'm currently reading Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes. I discovered him quite by accident, one of his poems was in a Keats search on Pinterest, which led me down a rabbit hole of his early works. I appreciate the juxtaposition of mythology and honest brutality in his pieces around nature. This collection is very different to what I have read of his earlier works, but his uncompromising approach to word choice still makes me uncomfortable and I find that interesting.
I'm focusing on reading widely as this is still quite a new genre to me, but I seem tend to veer towards confessional, unstructured poems that have a conversational feel. At school I chose Carol Ann Duffy and Keats as my essay subjects, which I suppose don't seem like obvious bedfellows, but I liked them equally.
Nice! I'm read to read a whole collection by Plath! any recommendations on where to start?
