Hi op, you might like to know there's a what we're reading board, loads of threads of people chatting about books!
Weird you should ask about poetry, I go through phases with it and yesterday I picked up my massive collected Ted Hughes - what an amazing poet he was! But my favourite poet is probably Wislawa Szymborska, a Polish woman who won the Nobel Literature prize, but I find her really easy to read which poetry often isn't, she just hits the spot for me. Here's a link to her Wikipedia page and one to the reading board. Good luck!

Please help before I lose my mind!

I have been searching google (& all other sites I can) looking for a book I read during lockdown.
It‘s an English feel good novel in the style of Lilac Mills, Darcie Boleyn
An English girl goes on holiday with her friend to Copenhagen, sees a man while on a boat trip who shouts from land to meet her for dinner but there is a mix up with the name of the restaurant, and they don’t meet.
From memory I think they somehow bump into each other in Paris & then take it from there, but I know the end of the book sees them back in Denmark with a baby?

I need sleep 😂 so if anyone could help I would it appreciate it forever!

People have such wildly different taste in poetry :), but my favourite little known poetry books must be this one by Rebecca Zeniou:
