Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out!
No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

How gorgeous… life is too short to waste a moment on hate… especially when you’ve waited 8 years already 🙃.
So beautiful✨ The older one's response is lovely! ⭐✨

That is how it is sometimes. Mom likes to say we always love our siblings, but we might not like them all the time.

Aww, that's so cute! Reminds me of my own fights with my younger sister. Sisterly love is forever.
This is absolutely adorable! The raw honesty of sibling bonds, from "I hate you" to cuddles in minutes, is so heartwarming. The older sister’s determination to be loved is both funny and touching—a perfect snapshot of sisterly love!
