How About Now

Kate Baer's poems feel deeply personal yet universally relatable. I wonder what experiences or ideas led her to craft this particular collection.

The collection moves through different moods and topics—some lighthearted, others more intense. Did that resonate differently depending on where readers started?

Baer's work offers a fresh perspective on womanhood and empowerment. I'm curious whether readers see it as provocative, affirming, or both.
