Review: What Kind of Woman by Kate Baer

I saw this book on Instagram, and it had raved reviews. And after reading, they were very deserved. There was something deeply raw and captivating about this. It’s a book of poems based on how it is being a woman in today’s world.  

It was had such rich storytelling, that at times I found myself in awe that these short sentence paragraphs had transported me to a world I wasn’t excepting. It felt deeply visually. It’s safe to say, I really liked this book. 

I feel like there is something in here for everyone. There are poems about being single, being married, and being a mother. It’s like a journey. It was stunning.

And each poems, make you stop and think. I found myself rereading them over and over because they were so captivating. It hits you deep in the core. And I haven’t read a poetry book like that did that in a while. 

My favorite poems include:

·      My Friend Bethany Rages at the News

·      Dearly Beloved

·      Fat Girl

·      What I Meant

·      During This Double Date We Will Prove We Have a Happy Marriage

Final Thoughts
