Books like Graffiti

Every review on poetry I have done up to this point had some remark like 'poetry is an artform that is meant to be gazed upon and felt, not understood'. It always felt unaccessible like walking through a castle and loving the fact that you can try to make up stories about how they used to live back in the day, but being unable to make up a story that would have a true representation of that time. Turns out I've just been reading the 'wrong' poetry.Savannah Brown is the voice of my generation. There wasn't a word in there that I didn't understand, because most of them I had felt before. The rhythm and beat of her words grab you. Most of the poems made me want to scream yes, you get it! Savannah's words balance on insecurities and wanting to show the world that 'you've got the fire', which would be an accurate description of my own mind. I'm glad poetry doesn't always have to feel like reading a classic from the 1800s. I may just like slam poetry or young poets better :).
