#MSWL: Speculative novels that feel like poetry, that call to mind specific poems, without being entirely in verse. Specific poets I like for these purposes: Tennyson, Donne, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Langston Hughes, Omar Khayyam, Wallace Stevens (There are more! Surprise me!)

If your book comps to this show, send it to me ASAP.

There are two types I’m drawn to:

-the soft character who is too pure for this world and must be protected at all costs

-the brittle character who has been through some shit and is desperately trying to hold it together
