They’re all as new as me

I love poetry. I love the way it sounds, the way it moves, everything about it. I like to dabble in poetry, too.

However, my poetry is child’s play compared to the poetry I’ve seen from these poets on here. As with my last Top 3 article, all of them have been on Medium since 2019. Everything I’ve read from them has been amazing.

These poets deserve all the love they can get.

This one’s a no-brainer. Jenny Justice started in Medium the same month I joined. Her poetry exploded on Medium, and I’ve been following her ever since. Once I find some extra money, I plan on buying her book as well.

Here is my favorite one of her poems. It’s about watching a monk in a Buddist temple. Beautifully written.

I found her by accident one day while looking at different articles in Facebook groups. When she’s not writing poetry, she’s writing about times with her son and mental health.

One of my favorite things about poetry is the many different ways it can be interpreted. With my favorite poem of hers, I see it as someone tired of the constant one-night stands. Someone else can look at it and see something completely different. It makes poetry beautiful in that sense.

I’ve stumbled upon her recently. I haven’t read as much of her poetry as I have the others, but everything I’ve read so far has been excellent. I’m excited to see what she does with her work in 2020.

My favorite poem of hers is about relating to James in the story of James and the Giant Peach. It surprises me how small things can make us relate to different characters in the stories we read.

And that is my Top 3 poets to watch for 2020. So far, their poetry has been excellent, and I can’t wait to see what they come up within the next year. I’ll be looking forward to reading anything they have out there.
