"Sadly not enjoying this collection so far.
Also, nearly half of the pages are blank. Some have nice dog illustrations, but the poems being printed on one side only, even if they’re two-page poems, is disappointing. I also don’t enjoy how she breaks up the lines and stanzas in some of these poems so far. Hoping the rest is better!"

Frank O'Hara
“the only thing to do is simply continue
is that simple
yes, it is simple because it is the only thing to do
can you do it
yes, you can because it is the only thing to do”
Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems

Nghi Vo
“When you love a thing too much, it is a special kind of pain to show it to others and to see that it is lacking.”
Nghi Vo, When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain

Yōko Ogawa
“I needed this eternal truth [...] I needed the sense that this invisible world was somehow propping up the visible one, that this one, true line extended infinitely, without width or area, confidently piercing through the shadows. Somehow, this line would help me find peace.”
Yōko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor

Tove Jansson
“The garnets,' Sniff moaned. 'I didn't get a single one.'
Snufkin sat down beside him and said kindly: 'I know. But that's how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don't have to carry a suitcase.”
Tove Jansson, Comet in Moominland

Frank O'Hara
“I can’t even find a pond small enough
to drown in without being ostentatious”
Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems
