What Kind of Woman: Poems
Quotes from the Book
We expect so much of children, hovering above them like giant, invincible gods. What a racket to discover as an adult, how little we have to pass down.
Let your life rest on what is already good.
To witness one life's miserable devastation and see her reach, instead, for joy.
It's just another day in the good-bad, bad-good earth machine.
If only we could put the world on hold.
Putting away the baby clothes It’s delicate the edge of horror I have crossed 1000 rivers How foolish we are to believe what we love won’t end

About the book
The second full length poetry collection from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman.
Kate Baer shot into the literary stratosphere with the publication of her debut poetry collection, What Kind of Woman, which became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller.
Kate's second full-length book of traditional poetry, And Yet, dives deeper into the themes that are the hallmarks of her writing: motherhood, friendship, love, and loss. Taken together, these poems demonstrate the remarkable evolution of a writer and an artist working at the height of her craft, pushing herself and her poetry in a beautiful and impressive way.
Intimate, evocative, and bold, Kate's beguiling poetry firmly positions her in the company of Dorianne Laux, Mary Oliver, Maggie Nelson, and other great female poets of our time.
