A Brief History of Time by Shaindel Beers

5.0

I haven't read poetry in years, but read this collection because I was already familiar with some of the poems. I love how, although they cover themes of love and loss, they aren't “typical” cheesy love poems or poems about nature that only the author can truly appreciate. It isn't experimental, which I also love, and basically tells tales about real people who live both rural and urban lifestyles, which reflects Beers’s background. She’s also a master of the sestina. Very accessible to new poetry readers.
