Why read it?
1 author picked The Universe of Us as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book blew me away. It looks deceptively simple with short poems and regular language, but the emotion of the poems is intense, direct, powerful, and breathtaking. Poem after poem just made me think “Wow!” I don’t usually read poetry for fun, but the pretty pink cover and the title of this book grabbed me at the bookstore and I bought it on a whim. It was definitely one of those cases where the right book gets you at the right time. I love this book!
From S.J.'s list on poetry for people who don’t think they like poetry.
