WWJD and Other Poems by Savannah Sipple
5.0
Poems I'll come back to again and again; a few I'm already starting to memorize. Some of these poems dug deep; one made me tear up enough on a bus that I made strangers uncomfortable. Other poems were friskier and more playful (underneath, always, that tinge of melancholy).
I wish there had been even more poems featuring Jesus—I would be glad if Sipple continued to work with that idea, developing it even more, because I love the idea so much of a queer woman reclaiming Jesus as her friend, as an unstoppable force of love.
To sum it all up: poems to make you cry and turn you on. What else would I want from a book of lesbian poetry?
