ranting + raving + life in general: a collection of poems by Katie McGuire

Poetry doesn't always have to have a genre - and this book of poems certainly doesn't try to fit the mold. Ranging in themes from growing up and moving on to simple studies of the mundane, what the poems in this book lack in connection they make up in honesty and emotion. Let the lines of verse make you laugh and make you think, as you follow the author along on a nonsensical (and often nonexistent) path to a literary awakening. At the very least, you'll have a book of poems to quote the next time you're looking to lighten the mood.

There's love! There's family! There's teen angst! There's snark! Give it a go. Poetry's good for the soul.
