Bestie you seems to have great taste and i need to know what’s your favorite poetry books

aww thank you! i have pretty standard taste in poetry books, i dig a lot of the usual suspects, and i can't really list them all, but i CAN recommend two poetry books i read recently and really loved:

gregory orr, orpheus & eurydice: a lyric sequence ("everything had lost its voice and listened now inside,/ listened to Orpheus")

frederick seidel, evening man - the poem "boys" from this collection will always twist a knife in me, especially that last line "thank god for your daddy, boy"

You gave me a space inside your womb and I can't complain if there isn't anywhere inside your heart for me to hide now.

Audre Lorde, from The Black Unicorn: Poems; “Fog report”

[Text ID: “I am tempted / to take you apart / and reconstruct your orifices / your tongue your truths your fleshy altars / into my own forgotten image / so when this fog lifts / I could be sure to find you / tethered like a goat / in my heart’s yard.”]

Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

[selinakylebat]

Humans in love are terrible. You see them come hungering at one another like prehistoric wolves, you see something struggling for life in between them like a root or a soul and it flares for a moment, then they smash it.

Anne Carson, from “The Anthropology of Water,” in Plainwater: Essays and Poetry

I think I was just born with something dark and ugly inside of me. Always waiting to be found out.

Scrambled by need, I say, I want to give you my bones, all / my language rendered useless at your feet.
