The Princess Saves Herself in this One by Amanda Lovelace, 199 pages
I wholly enjoyed this collection. Lovelace composes her language tightly, packing words like gunpowder, giving us fireworks and bombs, each in their turn.
This collection is also a great introduction for young adults into poetry. The language is playful yet easy to parse on a casual reading. It's raw but real. It bends and breaks traditional poetry "rules," but is still cohesive as poetry.
