Why read it?
1 author picked Satan Says as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it goes straight for the gut.
These poems tell the truth no matter what. I never have to wonder what they mean. I love how authentic the poet is and how she gives everyday life a mythic quality, whether she's talking about her eggs and childbirth, or her awful parents, or going fishing with her kids.
From Elizabeth's list on poetry books about real life.
