Sift through our best indie poetry books to find writers baring their souls about life, love, and what it means to be human. No matter what shape these poems take, you’ll be touched by their artistry and meaning… and perhaps even roused to jot down a few verses yourself.



Furthermore, if you want recommendations from people who love poetry just as much as you do, make sure to follow our poetry reviewers on Discovery. Keep your nose to the ground, and you might just be one of the first to discover (or become!) the next Rupi Kaur.
