You Can Soon Dive Into Lili Reinhart's First Poetry Collection, Swimming Lessons

Lili Reinhart has been branching out from her Riverdale roots as of late, and we love it.


First, she appeared in Hustlers. Right now, she's serving us something completely different: poetry! The star is releasing a book of poems called Swimming Lessons, which is meant to group up a few of the actress's touching works from over the years, along with plenty of new material as well.


"Swimming Lessons explores the euphoric beginnings of young love, battling anxiety and depression in the face of fame, and the inevitable heartbreak that stems from passion. Relatable however deeply intimate, provocative although comforting, bite-sized although profound, Lili's poems resemble her trademark honesty and unique perspective. Accompanied by striking and evocative illustrations, Swimming Lessons reveals the depths of female experience, and is the work of a storyteller who is coming into her own," reads the official description.


If you're thinking all of this is a little surprising, hang on a moment. This is hardly Lili's first brush with the medium. You might remember that, for boyfriend Cole Sprouse's birthday, Reinhart wrote a "sappy nighttime birthday poem" for her lover.


I attempted to find a poem / that I might send to you. / Because my words were failing me. / Although I searched and noticed nothing that did you justice. / All of those love poems can’t get it right. / No one else’s words could ever fit. / They haven’t known the fortune it is to love you," wrote Reinhart. Honestly, it's pretty dreamy and romantic, in the event you ask us. Makes us wonder what the rest of the book will be like, and what the subjects of each poem will be.


you could pre-order Swimming Lessons in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle editions right now by way of the Amazon. It even comes in a pretty pink cover with a minimalistic title. Should be good for the 'gram, at the very least. The book is set to debut on May 5, 2020.
