If You're A Taurus, Here's The Poetry Collection You Should Read

For those born with their sun in Taurus, InStyle explains that understanding their role in society — both on the micro-scale of the hive of their home or in the bigger picture of humanity — is their favorite obsession. Loyal almost to a fault, Allure warns they can have a hard time deviating from their prescribed role in every aspect of their life.

With everything changing so fast these days, solar Taureans especially have been on edge. During a recent press conference, actor Timothée Chalamet translated the fear into words, admitting he felt the scent of "societal collapse is in the air." This is probably a particular existential anxiety you've been feeling for a while and one Amanda Moore explores in her award-winning poetry collection, "Requeening."

When they announced "Requeening" the winner of their 2020 Open Competition, the National Poetry Series described Moore's collection as one that doesn't "shy away from the inevitability of a hive's collapse." Moore uses the hive as a stand-in for our society and ourselves — both of which have an expiration date. Moore even acknowledges the death of what it originally meant to be someone's daughter as she's aged and become a mother herself.

The Harvard Review added in their review that "Requeening" is "its own flight of the bumblebee" that "takes us on multiple odyssey's: from birth to adulthood, bloom to collapse, beloved home to beloved home, and diagnosis to remission."
