Some recommendations. ❤️✨

You may be surprised that an email is arriving at your inbox this early, but it’s only because I’m drained, tired and having a baby headache.

So! To begin with recommendations, here are some poems (a non exhaustive list) that I think you should definitely read:

1. Like a Small Cafe by Mahmoud Darwish; http://tassourt.blogspot.com/2009/02/like-small-cafe-mahmoud-darwish.html
2. SHORT TALK ON HEDONISM by Anne Carson; https://alwaysalreadyangry.tumblr.com/post/140439164078/short-talk-on-hedonism-anne-carson
3. Blood by Naomi Shihab Nye; https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48602/blood-56d229f9da8a9
4. When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities by Chen Chen; https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/143241/when-i-grow-up-i-want-to-be-a-list-of-further-possibilities
5. Tonight by Agha Shahid Ali; https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51652/tonight-56d22f898fcd7
6. won’t you celebrate with me by Lucille Clifton; https://poets.org/poem/wont-you-celebrate-me
7. For My People by Margaret Walker; https://poets.org/poem/my-people

I’m so sorry today’s list is small. ;-; If it weren’t for my headache I’d be recommending some books too, but I guess I’ll do that for tomorrow. :)

Take care and stay safe!

Amulya.
