I Hope This Finds You Well

this is a collection of found poetry, or blackout poetry. essentially kate baer has taken some of the most nasty, self-centered, and close-minded comments directed at her over the past few years and turned them into beauty.

some of these poems genuinely hit a piece of my heart inside me. some of them really made me feel seen.

this is first and foremost a feminist-centered book of poems but it touches on all aspects of being a good human: blm, anti-capitalism, anti-blind-patriotism, and body neutrality.

i would 100% recommend this book to anyone and everyone! especially considering it's a little under 100 pages so it's a quick read. i'll leave you with a poem that hit me:

“to love yourself is to love the world and find a place to live in it.”
