Welcome to Litsy!

Did you know that the word “wonder“ is thought to be a cognate with the German word, “wunde,“ or “wound“?

I just learned that while reading this collection of poems by Maya C. Popa.

I found the poem Henry was reciting to Alex in the V&A, and I'm obsessed with it!

"It rhymes in French." - Henry ?

My favourite, and I love the ambiguity over the interpretation (I rarely agree with historians when it comes to most topics on literature and poetry, and this time is no different) 🤍🤎.

Being Poe, this one borders on unhealthy obsession (plus, Annabel is, well, dead), but the cadence has always haunted me, sounding like the waves rolling onto the shore.

I loved everything about this collection of poems. If you're new to poetry and are looking to find a collection that will touch your soul...this is the collection I would recommend. #poetrymatters

#LuckyInLove Day 10: #Stars in this newest picturebook by Gaiman - scheduled a review of this beautiful beautiful book on Monday. Review is forthcoming. 💕✨🌟🌌

Have to go with a classic for #WhyInTitle. If it's #NewYearNewBooks for anyone, it's a must-read #poem from a treasured #poet and author. @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Mi‘kmaw poet's debut explores love, pain, and history. Thomas' poems challenge norms and tell a powerful story about identity, injustice, and a new Canadian tale.
