maybe my answer is basic, but despite always having loved writing poetry i haven't actually read much of it until recently. we covered this poem in a course i was taking and it's just so good. i just finished Ocean Vuong's "Night Sky With Exit Wounds" and it was so good as well, one of my favorites was "Thanksigivng 2006". another poet i could recommend is Aimee Seu, i'm hoping to buy her book "Velvet Hounds" soon, a poem i love by her is called "Thrift Store Fur". lastly, another poet i really love is chen chen. i really recommend reading "Summer"!

because sometimes your friends don’t like the same music as you, and that’s okay. take a book and be all mysterious; or make friends with everyone around you. have fun with it, live your life without fear of embarrassment! p.s. here’s a picture from the suede concert i went to alone yesterday :))

Managed to see a screening of this masterpiece in 4k + surround sound, safe to say for my first watch it was biblical. The entire cinema was sobbing at the messages from home scene

one of my earliest memories (3yo) was being knocked over by this energetic little puppy when we went to adopt him. he was the only one of his litter who survived, hence the name lucky! he was a good boy and we had some good times together 🫶
