This book feels a little over descriptive especially as a non native English speaker (reading in English)
novels.and.bottles commented on novels.and.bottles's review of The Shining (The Shining, #1)
These people owe Dick Hallorann their lives.
Is the cast of characters diverse? Having one black character who is the hero but is also verbally assaulted with racial slurs throughout the entire book does not count as diversity to me. King loves the Magical Negro trope, and I just have a hard time overlooking that.
I can appreciate this book’s place in the horror canon but definitely don’t consider it a favorite. Beginning to realize maybe King isn’t for me? Definitely think this book could have been edited significantly and not lost value in plot.

As part of broadening my literary palette this year, I want to start reading some poetry. The problem is, I have had little/no exposure to poetry in academia and I don't know where to start. I read almost every genre and would love some recommendations on classic and contemporary poetry that are "must reads" in your opinions!
