I like that I’m able to pick this up and just read a few pages at a time. I love Taylor and will read literally anything Taylor coded

As a swiftie of course, this was such a great collection of poetry. I think any fan of Taylor’s pen would enjoy this.

As a Taylor’s fan I loved this so much, one of my favorite things about this is making the lyrics we already love so much even more relatable.

This anthology combines Taylor Swift and poetry and was a great read. But it wasn’t obvious that they were inspired by Swift’s songs and lyrics if you didn’t already know and I really liked that interpretation and how one song can create different emotions and stories for different people. Not everyone will experience her songs in the same way and seeing that in the form of poetry was well done. However, while I had fun guessing which song inspired each poem, some were harder than others, and would’ve appreciated some sort of list in the back of the book with the songs or even a link to a website.

This is a fun coffee-table book in my home. I enjoy picking it up to peruse a few poems at a time at random. I bought it because of two contributors: Diane Seuss and Gregory Pardlo. I was pleased to discover some new-to-me poets like Kim Addonizio who wrote "Resurrection" for this collection. The best poems are the ones like Addonizio's where you can tell the poet was having fun. The poems I didn't enjoy as much read too much like emulations of Taylor Swift lyrics. The introduction is a great read and not to be missed. Even though I am very well versed in Taylor Swift's lyrics, and I had a hell of a time figuring out the puzzle of what song inspired what poem. I gave up trying, honestly, and the difficulty was a little disappointing as matching songs to poems is what I most looked forward to with this anthology.

Not nearly as close to Taylor swift songs as I thought it would. I knew I wouldn’t love every poem but I’m sad to say that the vast majority really didn’t hit at all

I asked for this one for something different thank I was used to and I am glad I did. It gave me a new appreciation for what is my normal but also allowed me time in a new area to which I want to explore more.

I love both poetry and Taylor swift so I was looking forward to this collection. It was different poets so some I really enjoyed and others not as much. Such is life. Still a lovely collection of poetry.

I'm not a swifite by any means and I don't get the hype behind her music, but I did enjoy reading poet's response to her songs.

I love Taylor Swift like everyone else, so obsessively, to the point of knowing almost all the songs by heart, and I must admit that I was hoping that this book would be a nice and modern homage to the singer, unfortunately not. DNF for me. Sorry. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishing house for this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was my first dive back into poetry after not reading it for awhile and being a swiftie this was right up my alley!

Invisible String is a beautiful collection of Taylor Swift inspired poetry. I only hope that Taylor got a copy and was able to see how inspirational she was to so many amazing poets.

Taylor Swift lyrics and emotion has inspired a collection of wonderful poetry and responses to her work. Every person impacted by Taylor's work would appreciate all of these unique takes. I loved this so much! Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Ballantine Books for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Taylor Swift is an incredible and poetic lyricist to begin with, but watching her words transformed into poems makes it even more beautiful!

This book is so beautiful and powerful. All of these poems tell such a stunning story that feels true to the story Taylor Swift intended to tell with these lyrics. I felt transformed into another world while reading these poems and was sad when they were over.

If you are a Taylor Swift lover or poem lover, you will find joy, heartbreak, and empowerment in these poems!

This is a really fun concept for a poetry collection! There’s no doubt that the poets that contributed to this are very talented, but I do think some of them could have been a *little* more obvious as to which song it was inspired by. I ended up finding a website that listed them all, and while many of them I guessed right or could at least see the connection, some of them left me puzzled as to how it related to that song at all. Or maybe I’m just bad at dissecting poetry, who knows (probably). That said, there were some excellent poems in here, and I think it’s a fun read for Swifties!

This was a fun little exploration of Taylor Swift lyrics through the various lenses of different poets. Obviously, with a collection this large there are going to be some hits and misses but I really enjoyed how each poem made you work to figure out which song it was a call and response to. That was a fun element to this that I think any Swiftie would love working out perhaps even more than enjoying the poetry itself.

This was such a cool and unique poetry collection! I had so much fun trying to figure out which Taylor songs each poem was inspired by. I also loved getting a sneak peek at so many different poets and their writing styles.

I selected this book from NetGalley expecting a more simplistic creation of poetry based loosely on various songs by The Queen herself, Taylor Swift. What I received, instead, was a complex collection of writings that all had the central theme of life and the various experiences that make-up a life: falling in love, death, heartbreak, childbearing, growth. Several of the poems were difficult for me to decipher, but the ones that really resonated with me hit me HARD- in a good way?

This would be a good pick for anyone who appreciates the use of beautiful language, metaphors, and is willing to relieve their own memories through the lens of another who has experienced any of the aforementioned events in life.

I love Taylor Swift, and while this isn't a book I'll be recommending, it is a book I'll cherish. My fandom was so seen in each section, and I enjoyed every page. True swiftie should try this!

I would not call myself a Swiftie. I do know a lot of Taylor Swift songs and while I don’t seek out her newer albums I also won’t change my music if she comes on. I do 100% think she is a very talented songwriter and artist. So when I saw I was sent Invisible Strings through NetGalley I was intrigued. I like the idea that these poets all collaborated on this book of poems.

Right now, my understanding of poetry is pretty slim so my appreciation of it isn’t quite there. Even so there were still a few poems that spoke to me. I personally do not take apart Swift’s lyrics and while I know most of her popular songs I had trouble figuring out which songs go to the poems.
