I want to read more poetry, what’s your favorite book written by a female author?
It can be about anything, but I’d love something that talks about nature or about the struggles women face.
Anything by Trista Mateer, especially her trilogy on Aphrodite and female related. So good.

‘ Motherland, Fatherland, Homelandsexuals’ by Patricia Lockwood ( her novels are awesome as well)
‘ The World’s Wife’ by Carol Ann Duffy
Gwen Harwood’s poetry, I’m not sure of the names of any of her particular collections because I just read a compilation for students when I was studying literature

Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton are brilliant
