"I want to get into poetry and I don't know where to start" fam:
Sign up for Poem a Day from poetryfoundation.org to have 1 poem emailed to you every day (I read mine while hiding in the bathroom at work). Every time you like the poem, pull up your local library catalog and search the poet's name. Put all of their collections on hold (modern poetry collections are typically very short). Read them. Tada!
Bonus round: rate them on Goodreads, open the "what's next?" Goodreads email, scroll down to the 3 recommendations, also place those books on hold, see how far you can rabbit hole into the world of poetry. Alternatively, look up the poets who are review quoted on the book, or go to the publisher website.
I hope this helps!
