Tomorrow’s Woman by Greta Bellamacina
5 stars
Woah. This is the poetry collection I’ve been searching for by modern poets. Modern poetry is steeped in a lot of short and clipped poetry. Some of it can pack a punch, but most of it just leaves me hanging and unsatisfied. Tomorrow’s Woman showcases that long-form poetry is not forgotten and is still effective. It was STUNNING. Greta Bellamacina is a truly captivating poet and one of the best of our age. This collection captivated me and it covers everything from love, grief, and pregnancy. I loved that this collection celebrates pregnancy and what that can mean for a woman. I feel like there aren’t many poems written about the topic and it was beautiful to read in this medium. I was also a huge fan of her conservation poetry “Whale Nation in a Plastic Bag” was one of the best poems in this collection.
“Tomorrow’s woman has seen war in heaven
she is the blue of light before time draws”

I would recommend this poetry collection 100%. Out of all of the poetry collections I’ve read this is the only one that I have enjoyed all of it and had no issues. I loved it. If you only read one poem in 2020, pick up Tomorrow’s Woman.
Plotastic Scale: 5
Cover Thoughts: I love the cover and the blurred image. I saw it and was immediately drawn in.
Thank you, Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing, for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
