I stumbled upon this by poet Katie Makkai quite by accident and I'm glad I did. We live in an age where beauty seems to trump all. We shouldn't not appreciate beauty but for something that is so subjective and fleeting, we shouldn't value it so much.
Katie Makkai's Pretty is a poem of a her struggle to attain the prettiness that some people think is synonymous with happiness and ultimate refusal of it. Enjoy!
