Invisible Strings: 113 Poets Respond to the Songs of Taylor Swift Hardcover – December 3, 2024

Arrived in good time. Great poetry that really make you think. Beautifully written and nicely put together. I’ve only read the first few poems because, for myself.. I feel the need to guess the song it’s based off of before I move on. It’s hard and makes you think which is so fun. But I think I’m gonna just read it through before I start NEEDING to guess, because the quality of poems are great:

This book contains 113 poems, each inspired by a Taylor Swift song. The poems don't say which song they're inspired by, which I had hoped when I bought the book, but I found I didn't care so much as I read the poetry.The poetry itself is absolutely gorgeous. Truly divine. I make marks in my books for my favorite lines and leave Post-It tabs for my favorite poems on pages, and my copy is completely filled with highlights and has so many Post-It tabs that it's unreal. I'm a poet myself, and this book has inspired me to write more.Knowing these poems were inspired by some of my favorite songs (you can tell what some of them are, but others are more difficult) was such a treat. Either way, this is a top-tier poetry collection. If you're a Taylor Swift fan, you appreciate good writing -- and that makes this a perfect book for you!

Received as a christmas gift, and I love it! Perfect gift for a Taylor obsessed fan.

I loved some of these poems, though of course in an anthology, not all pieces are going to hit quite the same! Though it's extremely disappointing to keep the songs the poems are referring to a secret. The whole project then seems disconnected from the subject...Takes away the fun. I have no idea what songs these poems are referring to!

There are more than 100 free-spirited, unconfined and untortured poets in this collection inspired by the lyrics and references of Taylor Swift. What a way to add memories to the tour that broke all records. The Swifties not only approved this collection, but its accuracy-- these poets really did know their territory.

This just wasn’t what I thought it would be. The poetry wasn’t to our liking. I thought I’d be able to read these with my daughters (All Swift fans) and match it to a song. Most of it wasn’t our style of poetry. A few I enjoyed.

Invisible Strings is an excellent book!It’s definitely worth taking a look.If you cannot match the poems to their songs—Do not despair! This is where you belong.Keep trying, talk with friends, take a second read.If you own a white horse, perhaps consult your steed?At the end of the day, many Swifties agree:Reading Invisible Strings is the place to be!

Pairing distinguished poets with Taylor Swift songs to decipher is a work of art by editor Kristie Frederick Daugherty. It is a win-win for both the literary world and Swifties across the world.
