Favorite Poetry Collections of 2018
These are the poetry collections I have most recommended to friends, family, and anyone else who has crossed my path this year (my personal metric for "favorite").
What was your favorite poetry collection of 2018? Let me know on Twitter or Facebook.
The Barbarous Century by Leah Umansky
The poems in Leah Umansky's collection The Barbarous Century wield vulnerability as a weapon as they speak to dystopias and hope both global and personal.
Erin Hoover's Barnburner, awarded the 2017 Elixir Press Antivenom Poetry Award, is a timely work of politics, feminism, and humanity.
If They Come for Us by Fatimah Asghar
Fatimah Asghar's debut poetry collection If They Come for Us is both intensely personal and political, profound and poignant.
Chase Berggrun's R E D transforms the text of Bram Stoker's Dracula into a powerful and mesmerizing work of erasure poetry.
Sexting Ghosts by Joanna C Valente
Joanna C Valente's Sexting Ghosts is a powerful and inquisitive poetry collection.
The World Is My Rival by Charlotte Seley
Charlotte Seley's poetry collection The World Is My Rival is an impressive debut offering thought-provoking insight into heartbreak and existence.
