finally finished a greenhouse page i like ^_^ more soon

this is very pretty

this is so pretty

this is so awesome!! Madhouse at the end of the earth is sooooo so good i love that book so much. i love seeing fellow franklinheads on this site !!!

(i really do adore the layout of all your pages... the media page is so charming!) i totally get what you mean about poetry books being touch-and-go/not your style. i love poetry and i would say i dislike the majority of books of poetry that i read just because there's so much variance. personally i feel i prefer reading individual poems, but i still go into every poetry book hopeful 😅 i would say the only 3 i loved

+ in their entirety are "power politics" (atwood), "creeland" (hunt), and "black pastoral" (benson). sorry for the longish comment lol!

no thank you for your long comment im delighted ^_^ i want to like poetry collections so bad but none have lived up. i definitely will look into the ones you mentioned, ive wanted to read the benson for a while... i get so disillusioned that end up not enjoying even the ones i might like which is frustrating

the final poetry book im going to attempt is "so many rooms" by laura scott because im obsessed with her poem about fish (https://file.garden/ZRZKxMpOlUzNlhAK/fish.png)... im staying hopeful<3 also this was the poem that made me buy rookie: https://file.garden/ZRZKxMpOlUzNlhAK/checkout.png

!! i remember "if i were a fish" because part of a short story i wrote was inspired by it... really quite lovely. hadn't read "checkout" before but the last line... 🚬 sad to hear the collection was a bust because i really liked it

I KNOW IT DROVE ME CRAZY like Ogh. Are you kidding me. whatever though heres to hoping laura scotts is better

tbh i love poetry books but i can't sit down and read them all the way through at once or i never actually pay attention to the pieces & focus too hard on getting through it. i have to take my time & read like one or two poems a day for a month+ LMFAO. like hanif abdurraqib's the crown ain't worth much and danez smith's homie & black movie are incredibleeee but i read Real slow

i think thats the move actually youre right because i read it like a book and well that did not work out for me. maybe ill try to read 1 poetry book a month. that might be good
