I’m not a huge poetry fan, but I was struck by Tony Hoagland’s viciously witty Write Whiter, available at https://www.best-poems.net/tony-hoagland/write-whiter.html (“When I find my books in the ‘White Literature’ section of the bookstore,/dismay is what I feel—I thought I was writing about other, larger things”) and of course Patricia Lockwood’s astonishing Rape Joke.
