There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce

I will admit that I don't read a lot of poetry, but it didn't take me long to recognize the quality of the written words on each page of Morgan Parker's book. Beautiful and thoughtful, each poem in this short book is worth your time and effort. Also, as you tackle this book it helps to keep in mind that Beyonce is our queen, always and forever.

My mom never taught me "if you have nothing nice to say...", but I'm trying to be a better human being. Translation: this isn't for me and I'm not for it. I love poetry and I really like Beyoncé, but those two things didn't help me enjoy or want to understand this collection or any given poem within. It's not bad stuff; it's poetry!

This would be a great "in" with people who think they hate poetry, or are afraid of it. Maybe do a tie-in exercise writing dirty limericks about Queen Bey? *shrug*
