This is lovely ❤️❤️
thank you!! i will be sure to add more as i come across them ❤️
Oooh this is nice!! I wish I could recommend some but I don't have enough braincells to appreciate poetry
I TOTALLY GET IT THO!! i have rocks for brains when it comes to analyzing poetry. i don't think i can actually "get" it as deeply as the poets write them, but my heart and soul crave poetry nonetheless.
not a filipino poet but one of my favorite poetry books is: https://pagebound.co/books/982545f1-2e4a-4aa5-b9be-dc2b9208efa1 and even if some of the poems aren't for me, i think thakur's style makes it really digestible!! i'd def recommend checking it out some time if you ever feel like giving poetry a try again some day. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the recommendation!! I'll definitely check it out. I think analyzing poetry is a different muscle you have to practice (same with analyzing novels) and I am wheezing at the tracks trying to understand the deeper meaning 😂. I totally felt the "my heart and soul crave poetry nonetheless" though! I wish I could fully lose myself in poetry and see the intention and craft behind them better.
Check out “What You Refuse to Remember” by MT Vallarta! Also there’s two poetry books by Kay Ulanday Barrett. Both of them are queer & trans filipinx poets 💛
will def check them out and add them here, thank you friend!!
