In a celebration of Taylor Swift’s storytelling prowess through song, 113 Poets take on the task of delving into her vast musical catalogue; and use the emotions/ personal experiences her lyrics evoke, to craft their own works which I found beautifully engaging.

I don’t usually read much poetry (not since my own school days at least) but found myself thoroughly invested and in full analytical detective mode whilst reading. I was utterly transfixed, trying to grasp the glimmers of Swiftian imagery & symbolism to correctly figure out which song each poem is inspired by. 

Did I mention? The poets never outwardly specify which song got their creative juices flowing, so it’s an anthology that will keep readers pondering long after finishing. It’s certainly kept my attention, I keep going back trying to figure out which song inspired each poem.

So, this is definitely a must read (and perfect gift) for Swifties who enjoy analysing and decoding the intricate (nuanced) layers and details hidden in Taylor’s lyrics. 

Also, a huge thank you to Isabelle over at Headline for sending me this gorgeous finished copy.
