Rip my heart right out of my chest. Sarah Kay. Holy.shit.

I think my favorite of all of the poems in this book is The Type. This line did it for me....

"It is hard to stop loving the ocean.
Even after it has left you gasping. salty."

If i was rich, I'd buy copies of this book and give it to every woman that I know. And every man too. Really, just so, so good. And I don't even like poetry that much.

Sarah Kay’s debut poetry collection is breathtaking. She writes to her brother, to the woman Ted Hughes had an affair with, to the world. Easily my favorite of the bunch.

From 18 Powerful Poetry Books Like Milk & Honey by Rupi Kaur at Book Riot.
