Reviews

""Poetry Is Not a Luxury has been an invaluable resource for me the last few years and has introduced me to some of my favorite poems such as: 'Meditations in an Emergency' by Cameron Awkward-Rich and 'I am the horse' by Dorothea Lasky.

Poetry Is Not a Luxury does that with incredible care in this collection. Every poem is a revelation."" --Florence Welch ""A perfect curation of incredible poets. I have no doubt that if you allow this book to be your constant companion, you will smile, cry, and certainly feel less alone in whatever you may be going through."" -- Cleo Wade, #1 New York Times bestselling author ""An enduring and expertly curated anthology journeying through the seasonal movements of Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. From Audre Lorde to Jean Valentine to Mosab Abu Toha--these are the poets you long to have in conversation with each other, and by some well-considered (and anonymous) miracle they have been assembled in shared rooms organized by time, and we have been granted generous entrance to listen, and to wait..."" --Cole Arthur Riley, author of This Here Flesh
