What the Living Do: Poems by Marie Howe

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

This book was amazing, I was devastated when it ended!! The longing for more at the last poem was so intense, I immediately ordered another book of her’s. The detailing of grief and life experience was so raw and darkly compelling; I loved how she spoke poetry through everyday life! Heavy and lighthearted, dark and inspiring, What the Living Do is one of my favourite collections of poetry and I’m overjoyed I had the privilege of coming across it.
