Sounds Good, 101 Poems to be Heard

I'll go ahead and add the publisher's page for my book (which I absolutely would include as a good "beginning" book) but it won't be out until late January.

ENJOY!

*edit: I absolutely WOULD include my book as a beginner book--sorry for any confusion!

I would love a subreddit where shit like that, claiming that House of Leaves(of all things) is pretentious would not be allowed

People like that should read stuff like "Broetry" and stay out of serious discussions about other books
