The Universe in Verse by Maria Popova
"I liked the idea of this book more than the execution of it. The author’s style of writing was flowery in a distracting way in some of the scientific sections of the book, which is strange, as you would think it would be the opposite. With some editing, it would’ve been more enjoyable to read. However, I loved some of the selected poems, especially Sylvia Plath’s poem about mushrooms, which was beautiful! All things considered, it’s a 3 star read for me."
