[@corey5914]

Jesse I swear you have more books than my school library.

[@theaudiobookaficionado]

(screams) ahh i love poetry so much, this makes me so happy!!

[@Eva-wg8de]

Karen Mae same here!!! :))

[@dragonknightplays1130]

Karen Mae I wrote and published a poetry book!

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. 🤗 I hope you get to read my poems too.

[@SoRandom619]

What’s your favorite poem?

[@CrazyBookEater]

A.A. Milne is the author of "Winnie-the-Pooh" ;)

[@EllaIngram]

lol when he said he'd never heard of A A Milne I was like "WHAT?! How can you not know who he is?! Where have you been all these years?!?!" xD

[@lulusinner]

I suppose a lot of people grew up knowing the Disney version without knowing the books the stories originated from specially as child often won't pay attention to things such as the name of the author.

[@mika-ek2ui]

Ella Lightwøød-Høwlter Nice name👌

[@olivialusk7241]

have you heard of the princess saves herself in this one? It's v good it's being released on Valentine's Day (it was originally self pub but now it's going trad pub)

[@hiimgrace7747]

Olivia Lusk I want to read that one!

[@pinksuperstar2]

Olivia Lusk me too

[@anasalvatore3859]

Olivia Lusk I didn't read poetry at all and then I picked up Princess saves herself in this one and now I love reading poetry. 😊

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. I hope you get to read my poems too.

[@crazybooklady2104]

I love poetry. Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman and Edgar Allen Poe are my favorite poets

[@carolinethereader]

Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately sounds so good omg

[@ellieshuert2555]

I've watched Sarah Kay online but I didn't know she had a book! She is amazing I hope you enjoy reading her work

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

No Matter The Wreckage by Sarah Kay is utterly fantastic and is a collection of poems she's written over ten years!

[@lizardthewizard6737]

A. A. Milline is the author who wrote Winnie the Pooh, one of their other books of poetry is called When We Were Very Young.

[@maiasitter677]

Mildly Majestic And the other is called "Now We Are Six. Hence why the book that Jesse picked up by the guy who wrote parodys to Milne's poems book is called Now We Are Sixty. 😊

[@gerberamed10]

I am so happy and comforted to know that I'm not the only person who puts tabs in their books to mark the beautiful words or sections.

[@p3dr3ira]

"No matter the wreckage" is sooo good! Also, I would recomend bythe baird's poetry book, I've seen her perform some of the poems online and they are beautiful

[@AcornRiot]

"Our numbered days" by Neil Hilborn is always a good poetry collection to pick up.

[@hannahkline9104]

I am an huge poetry fan so I'm really glad you made this video. One of my favorites is Today Means Amen by Sierra DeMulder. She is who got me into poetry and it's a really powerful collection.

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. I hope you get to read my poems too.

[@snowhitepp3339]

Jesse it's great that you're reading poetry! A Poem for Every Night of the Year is a beautiful book, inside and out. I have it and I read poems from it every night and I'm absolutely loving it. Antologies like this are great because they can give you a taste of many different types of poetry and poets so you can figure out what you really like and see all the examples of different kinds of poetry that you might have not read otherwise.

[@BookYourImagination]

Hey Jesse, the cover for A Poem for Every Night of the Year is fabulous! And Now We Are 60 sounds hilarious! I will definitely have to pick that one up! You got some really great books in this haul!

[@cheryllovestoread]

I love Sarah Kay's spoken-word poetry and will definitely be buying her debut bound collection. Thanks for the rec.

[@hazylocks4869]

Milk and honey was such a beautiful and moving book! I was in a poetry slump for years and after reading that book I was so moved I just wrote for hours after! You will enjoy it!!

[@Kyr1981]

Thanks for reviewing my book!

[@librarytears]

I want to read No Matter the Wreckage soo bad! I love watching Sarah Kay perform her poetry!

[@penclickingjen9030]

One I've heard that's supposed to be really good is 'The Princess Saves Herself in This One'. I haven't read it yet, but I really want to! I love poetry, so keep us updated! :)

[@michellew4634]

I have heard that the book " I Write This For You" is a really good poetry book! :)

[@classloner]

Milk and honey is so powerful. My best friend brought it for me this month and I read it in one sitting, which I haven't done in a while now. It is worth reading.

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. I hope you get to read my poems too.

[@sevinm6261]

Why are poetry collections always so beautiful? Side note: M. Kaleko who was a German poet is INCREDIBLE. :)

[@mapaz1501]

You should look for "our numbered days" by Neil Hilborn. I just love his poems

[@andreaplans1341]

I've been looking for videos like these after finishing milk and honey, thank you! milk and honey is amazing and raw, enjoy!

[@bookhuntress7349]

I've been curious to read more poetry. I've heard quite a bit about Milk and Honey. It's on my wishlist. Awesome haul

[@serinamotola7189]

A Light in the Attic and or Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein (author of the Giving Tree ) both are collections of poems and drawings. His poems seem very lighthearted but then sometimes something deep will just hit you RIGHT in the face!!!!!

[@liz5034]

I read Three Rivers Rising. It was a historical fiction novel told in verse and it was beautiful!!! I recommend it to you!!

[@whitecloudov968]

This makes me so happy! I never see poetry hauls. I hope you love them 😄

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. Please feel free to read my poems on my channel. It would really mean a lot if you could give me your feedback.

[@teatimewitht6937]

I love poetry, hope you enjoy the poems Jesse

[@veeveedante4256]

I need that first one!!!!! It seems interesting.

[@sandyreadsalot]

A Poem for Every Night of The Year definitely has a beautiful cover and I love the concept of it!

[@Christian-zm8ym]

You definitely need to check Sylvia Plath's work "Ariel." The best part about this book is that there's a three part video series on KZbin where the poet herself reads the poems. I've been reading her for about four years and her voice is such an inspiration for me. Also, thank you for these recommendations! I read super old poetry so it's good to have some more modern poets to read. I can't wait to check some of these out.

[@goodmorningtom1047]

“Ariel” is such a beautiful work of art ❤️

[@letsgetreckless]

this is so perfect! I added a few to my tbr and I will be purchasing some for my sister for her birthday! Thanks!! :)

[@RKTFTW27]

I really loved the collection Black Butterfly by Robert M Drake and all the covers to his poetry collections are BEAUTIFUL

[@queenjazz3029]

I did not finish it yet but I have leaves of Grass by Walt whithman

[@callumbennett9878]

I wanted that so bad!

[@courtsavage]

Bluets is so good! I highly recommend!

[@MaggieFulmer]

Sarah Kay is amazing. Glad you picked up her collection. Rudy Francisco is also one of my favorite spoken word poets. He has a few little, mini collections out I think - I just have the one called 'Getting Stitches' which I enjoyed. You should definitely watch some of his live videos to see if you'd be interested at all.

[@mollyridley1531]

I recommend A Body Made of You by Melissa Lee - Houghton, it's quite dark focusing on life and love but in a very blunt way. It was the first poetry book I ever read and I love it!

[@ashtyg9864]

You should totally pick up The Princess Saves Herself In This One by Amanda Lovelace. its my all time favourite after Milk and Honey

[@janey8025]

Great video! I've been meaning to get into poetry this year too. There's a collection called You Took the Last Bus Home that I will probably pick up as it just seems funny and light-hearted and easy to read. I've always viewed poetry as something I didn't really understand so I want to try and change that

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. Please feel free to read my poems on my channel. It would really mean a lot if you could give me your feedback.

[@meganrose6356]

I really recommend Keaton Henson's poetry book, 'Idiot Verse'!! It's very beautiful and has really unique illustrations!

[@mariahpeterson9433]

I want to start reading more Poetry as well! All of these seem really awesome!

[@zahrabookworm5384]

There aren't one video where I don't laugh or smile. You truly make my days by just being who you are and I thank you for that. All love

[@mika-ek2ui]

I was expecting Realm Of Possibility by David Levithan its really good and the poetry is amazing.

[@thequestionablehufflepuff6673]

Milk and honey is fantastic and I love it so much!! Also, you should pick up poetry books by Billy Collins!! All of his poetry is so beautiful

[@raynahailey]

I've never read a poetry book but I think the first one I want to try is the popular one "Milk and Honey" :) or maybe the mixtape one you mentioned!!

[@emmagreenily]

stuff i've been feeling lately sounds so cool!! I'll have to pick that one up. You should try Lang Leav's poetry. All her books are beautiful

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

I agree. I like the simplicity of it.

[@TheMissniki]

Ahhhh I love no matter the wreckage!

[@livelovelou6473]

yay for you for pursuing different genres! I think it's awesome to branch out.

[@xreadingsolacex]

blackout poetry has always interested me!

[@holdmytakeyou]

ooh i hope you do book talks about these books.

[@MsCaseydilla]

Would love to see a wrap up once you read them all!

[@shantim7740]

I don't read much poetry, but I really enjoy it when I do. I read Milk and Honey a few days ago and it wasn't really my thing, but I love the poems of leunig, which are accompanied by illustrations and told as prayers, and James K Baxter too!

[@nathanmendoza7430]

Read Elegy of a Teenage Melodrama. It has been the best poetry collection I have read this year!

[@carenzabramwell8045]

This has really inspired me to pick up some poetry books. I definitely have a love hate relationship with poetry from studying it in class. You should try Listner by Lemn Sissay, he's a British poet and while I didn't like all of his poems, some where really good!

[@rasheetha123]

Beautiful collection ♥️

[@apple_bottom_jeans]

I recommend , Said the Shot Gun to the Head by Saul Williams!!!! It is amazing

[@moneshamahmood5849]

you should get chasers of the light by Tyler Knott. It is BEAUTIFUL!

[@liv-fo5sk]

a poetry book that i really love is Chasers of the Light by Tyler Knott Gregson i think you'd like it :)

[@natashiagushue3889]

You should read dirty pretty things and bittersweet love by Michael faudet. They are my uptime favourites!

[@isobelrose3763]

If you're after recommendations, Ocean Vuong has a poetry book called "The Night Sky With Exit Wounds" which is gorgeous !! He had a couple of poems online that you can check out if you want to get a feel for his work. I'm so glad you're getting into poetry because it's such a brilliant way of expressing and sharing ideas

[@goodmorningtom1047]

Now that is a beautiful poetry book!! I love his writing.. The books in the video, well, dont like em

[@Yana020298]

I think you can also try to read some classical poetry and I also think you might enjoy Edgar Allan Poe. Just received my copy of Milk and Honey) Super excited to read it!

[@noraashrifeh8178]

omg I want to read them! I love poetry!😍 (I recommend love that dog)

[@thereselangseth3887]

[@skyeangelbooksskyeangelvlo1431]

Hey Jessie!! I read poetry before and I love it. I'm really into the author Ellen Hopkins. You should try her books they are such wonderful quick reads 😍

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. I hope you get to read my poems too.

[@HPSmallCharm29]

I have seen some people recommend it already, but "the princess saves herself in this one" by amanda lovelace is a must read! As well as "crush" and "war of the foxes" by richard siken!

[@jessicashaw6815]

SARAH KAY IS SO WONDERFUL!!! If you didn't pick that one up I was going to recommend it, I loved that collection! Her spoken word poetry is absolutely beautiful too, you should definitely check it out if you haven't already, there are also a lot of other wonderful poets featured on the Button Poetry KZbin channel :)

[@Fglla2211]

Erin Hanson is FANTASTIC

[@timelordess1]

A.A Milne is the author of Winnie the Pooh and also wrote poetry such as When We Were Six etc. I have the whole collection somewhere because they're lovely books. Nice to see his poetry being reused in a modern way!

[@zuleymavalentin697]

Whiskey wowrds and a shovel ll is so gooooooood READ IT

[@margaretgates8731]

Milk and Honey is ridiculously amazing. I admire you for reading it, primarily bc it deals with lots of women's issues. You're also hilarious and handsome, and I adore your videos 😂😂😍👏🏻

[@BookLionQueen]

Lang Leav is really good.

[@BookLionQueen]

I'm reading her Love and Misadventure now.

[@lisefossum1640]

cassie hall So am I! :)

[@BookLionQueen]

Lise Fossum really? Cool!

[@yeon1573]

cassie hall I KNOW RIGHT

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

So true. I've read her book "Lullabies". Love it.

[@edencrowhurst32]

Charles Bukowski is and AMAZING poet. And if you like Milk and Honey you should pick up The Princess Saves Herself in This One.

[@mairhap2712]

you should definitely check out bukowski's poetry collection he is one of my favorites!

[@moneshamahmood5849]

I adore milk and honey so much!!!

[@michaelaphillips4123]

Chasers of the Light & All the Words are Yours. Both by Tyler Knott Gregson. They are both so so so so good. I actually thought those were in this book haul!! From the video icon, I thought I saw Chasers of the Light! I was so excited, but you haven't bought them yet! But you will. They are so good! I promise!

[@courtneydixon3384]

No Matter The Wreckage is my favorite collection of poems ever! Her words are so beautiful and watching her perform is absolutely breathtaking. If you like her works you should read 'Give Me A God I Can Relate To' by Blythe Baird and 'The Princess Saves Herself in This One' by Amanda Lovelace!

[@Katesbookdate]

Milk and Honey was my favorite book of 2016! Hope you enjoy it!

[@tatethereader4428]

Same! It was....soo so good!

[@Eva-wg8de]

Robert m Drake is an amazing poetry author, you really should read one of his books!!

[@juliamarie7073]

I legitimately JUST read "The Chaos of Longing" and "Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately" like yesterday lol and I loved both of them so much!!! I would say that I enjoyed "The Chaos of Longing" more than "Stuff I've Been Lately" because I felt that "Stuff" got a little juvenile with the language at times-but I still loved it so much!!! And just Mlik & Honey...I don't think I need to give you anymore reason to read it!!

[@ronjasignaler]

You should check out Hummingbird by Sophia Hanson!

[@donlevy8960]

Rita Dove is a great African-American poet. I have not read that collection but she is well worth reading. I always think one of the best ways to start with poetry is getting a couple of good anthologies.

[@BonesandBooth92]

Just got a little stab in the heart when you didn't know the author to Winnie the Pooh!!!! I had the vhs tapes when I was little, and some of them started with a book cover being opened up with A.A. Milne's name, so even before I could read I could recognize the name! I also loved how in the tapes they were narrated like someone was reading you the actual story, and there were shots of the sentences from the book.

[@terrahudson8761]

I'm so glad you are getting into poetry! A collection of poems by Saul Williams called 'said the shotgun to the head' is just physically and emotionally profound. I read it last year in April for poetry month. The title sounds shocking but it isn't violent as it sounds. Also, Emily Dickinson is everything her reputations says about her. She can be light hearted and cleverly versed. I hope you review Milk and Honey. I bought it but I am saving it for poetry month and I would love to see what your thoughts are. PS I hope you do poetry month in April with us! It would be really fun to see what you decide to read.

[@emmarobert412]

Just finished No matter the wreckage by Sarah Kay today and I loved it! Hope you enjoyed/will enjoy it too :)

[@tonyadull]

You might like The Poet's Corner by John Lithgow. It is a mixture of all types of poetry read aloud by famous actors.

[@laikacons]

Passport Stamps by Maria Baza is kinda good. I don’t know her but she sounds cool ;)

[@alannasama777]

You should read Your Soul is a River by Nikita Gill. It came out last June, and I received a copy from a giveaway on Goodreads, and absolutely loved it. I read it in one sitting, and definitely would recommend it to anybody wanting to read it.

[@user-fj9ge7uo3b]

I've heard The Princess Saves Herself in This One is really great!

[@user-fj9ge7uo3b]

Take out the really and the great and add phenomenal!

[@Swordinfiction]

Great Video! Milk and Honey is amazing, I've finished it a couple of weeks ago. A A Milne is the author who wrote Winnie the Pooh, xx

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

Hi. Please feel free to read my poems on my channel. It would really mean a lot if you could give me your feedback.

[@ethelangelig]

you should read "The Princess Saves Herself In This One" by Amanda Lovelace :)

[@ellamcgregor8836]

Milk and Honey is my favourite!!

[@msrainbowmoonfire1802]

❤️

[@meganmclaughlin538]

Ada Limon's collection "Bright Dead Things" is really good and not quite as dark as the title might suggest.

[@proudbooklion2094]

This is Everything by Aidan Chambers it's a YA book but it features a lot of poetry!

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

Sad Birds Still Song not only is that an amazing title the cover of the book is beautiful

[@Koko-ib1gv]

when you start the day with @jessethereader 😻

[@shandralynne]

Letters To A Young Poet by Rilke is a good one.

[@margauxm4477]

Hi ! You should definitely try some classic french poetry, for example with Victor Hugo, Arhtur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine... I don't really know if you can find their work in the US, but they're really good authors ! 🙂
