Hi everyone! Has anyone else read the poem, We Wear the Mask? I read it in English class and I really loved this poem, one of my favorites alongside Jabberwocky. Also curious to know what your favorite poems are and recommendations!
ooh I haven't read that one but I love Jabberwocky and Carroll's other famous one, The Hunting of the Snark. I'm working my way through the new Century of Poetry in the New Yorker right now, so I'll get back to you on favorite ones from that lol! I also love Lucille Clifton - my favorite one from her is my dream about the cows - Mary Oliver (Wild Geese or Peonies) and Anne Sexton (In Celebration of my Uterus or The Truth the Dead Know). sry that was a lot but I rly love poetry haha!!!
ooh there's also a poem from Anne Sexton that I just remembered but can't recall the name (lol this is turning into such a long comment/reply!) and the first few lines go:
We are America. / We are the coffin fillers. / We are the grocers of death. / We pack them in crates like cauliflowers.
anyways I love that one and most of her other work haha. what are your favorites & have you read any of mine??
