I'm not much of a poetry fan but I love the Hugh Howey WoolVerse and have been trying to read all the published "fan fiction" set in that universe.  "Poetry from the Silo" is short but dramatic and the simple poetry, written over years by Sara Lancaster and hidden in her computer files, is heartbreakingly real in its recording of Sara's life from happiness at her marriage, to hoping for a child, to the progression of tragedies that destroy her.  Uplifting that people can have joy and love even in dire circumstances but depressing that tragedies, especially at others' hands, can destroy it.  This is a wonderful addition to the Woolverse.
