More Poetry

yesterday, i was the moon by Noor Unnahar

Honestly, I bought this book of poetry because of the poet's first name. I have a brilliant former student who is also a gifted writer and poet, and these poems, to a certain degree, reminded me of her.

As it turns out, I am a big fan of this non-traditional poetry. The kind that ignores capitalization and punctuation rules, that has an easy to understand surface meaning, so even if you suck at deeper meanings of poems, you can get something from them. Every book of poetry that I have read in the past year, save one, fit this criteria.
