I always say my favorite books are memoirs by poets! There’s something about poets’ use of language and way of seeing the world that I love. To your list I’d add Sean Hewitt’s All Down Darkness Wide, Memorial Drive by Natasha Trethewey, and The Light of the World by Elizabeth Alexander.
Adding more books to my towering virtual tbr pile - thank you for the recommendations! Wendy Pratt's The Ghost Lake is also next up on the physical, 3D stack of books on my bedside table.

Yes! I loved Sean Hewitts and have added the other two you list to my TBR. I agree completely re language use. It’s v interesting I think…
My book is in good company! Thank you x
So looking forward to reading yours x

It was Lily's interview with Noreen that drew me to AFP too.
