This Book of poetry will always be in my top 5. Love love love! I read this book in my college class and it was definitely one of my favorites of the year. Odes to Lithium is deeply personal (it is cognizant of Erlichman's bipolar disorder) but written in a way that makes the reader feel connected, not specifically towards Erlichman but instead towards the words that are written.

Apparently it's a thing for students to memorize poems? I never had to do during my time in public school; and I always wondered what my poem I would have chose to memorize.
Now I know the poem would be 'Baby and I'. I think of that poem all the time, and I think that's what makes poetry so enticing and comforting. The poems are a 10/10, and the art of the book is beautiful yet simple that I found myself constantly going back to look at the cover page.
