Hey All, I'm going shopping tomorrow at a mall that gives me access to a B&N, rows and rows of poetry books. Anyone read anything good lately they'd like to recommend? Thanks, Kathy You're invited to: Wild Flowers Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.--Robert Frost | ||

Dearest Kathy -- you can't go wrong with anything we have listed in the WPF BookShop, but I just finished "Facts About the Moon" by Dorianne Laux myself, and I think you'd really enjoy that one. "Strike Sparks" by Sharon Olds, if you haven't read that one. And anything by Patricia Smith, Thomas Lux and David Kirby. Love, M | ||

Kathy, I am not sure if you have read it yet, but the most current Best American Poetry is excellent, and I have also been reading "What the Living Do" by Marie Howe and also "Fear Itself" by Stan Rice, both are great books. Have fun shopping! Cheers! Shawn Nacona http://shawnnacona.wordpress.com/ | ||

Lynda Hull's Collected Poems completely changed my perspective. Stunning. Happy shopping!! e Word Walker Press; Moonday Poetry; Kyoto Journal "All you who are dreamers too, help me make our world anew." --Langston Hughes | ||

Thanks all. A bummer is when the B&N isn't in the mall and your husband takes a wrong turn (maybe on purpose) and you miss the store completely. It was the only place I really wanted to go. Anyways, I'll jot down your suggestions, they are all great. I have the Sharon Olds, but the others I don't, and there's even some new names there. There's always Amazon! *Kathy You're invited to: Wild Flowers Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.--Robert Frost |
