Diane Seuss' Modern Poetry is a collection of contemporary poems exploring identity, desire, and the complexities of modern life. Through accessible yet sophisticated verse, Seuss examines relationships, sexuality, and what it means to navigate the world as a queer woman. The collection becomes a meditation on connection, vulnerability, and the power of poetry to capture truths that prose can't quite reach.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Seuss writes with honesty and humor about the messy realities of contemporary life. These poems remind us that modern poetry doesn't have to be difficult to be profound, and that the best poems come from paying close attention to what we actually feel.
