And the poet's specific work that you'd read in autumn?

*im just tired of summer and want feels FEELS F E E L S of soothing peace*

Specific work for Richard Siken is just everything haha. I'm trying not to be biased just because Richard Siken is a major favorite of mine but I have genuinely loved everything of his that I've read.

Of his two books (Crush and War of the Foxes) I believe more of my favourites are Crush.

As mentioned in the last ask, Richard Siken isn't particularly soothing and is more so haunting/striking even. His work just really reaches something within me. For soothing/peace, I tend to really enjoy Pablo Neruda. Something about how his poems flow in my mind tends to be soothing. A poem I really like of his is Keeping Quiet. His pieces can also have sadness to them, but overall there's just something soothing there.

Sorry this is getting so long but I felt like Ovid's The Art of Love was worth mentioning. I know it's more a book in poem form but I think it would be a good autumnal read. Plus it's very difficult not to love the Greek myth references (or I guess Roman since its Ovid).
