What Kind of Woman: Poems by Kate Baer

hopeful reflective

5.0

Kate Baer's poetry hits for me. I came for "Girls' Night Out" and stayed for "To Take Back a Life" and all the other poems in this collection that feel like a tight hug from a close friend sitting right beside you. There's nothing complicated going on here, but there is something deep, meaningful, and brilliant that puts words to feelings and events that I and many other women have experienced. These poems addressed different phases of womanhood in a well-conceived, cup-filling way that I absolutely loved.
