Classes have started, and this week has been mass chaos. Yet, in spite of the hot temperatures (80s and a bit muggy), it feels like Fall. Could it be the new students, the new classes, the new office supplies? (I love office supply stores — simply love them.) I hope to write longer posts soon, but for now, here are five poetry books I’m dreaming about for the Fall:
- The Torah Garden by Philip Terman
- American Busboy by Matthew Guenette
- Poetry in America by Julia Spicher Kasdorf
- Instructions for Killing the Jackal by Erica Wright
- Hurricane Party by Alison Pelegrin
All of these books are either forthcoming in the near future or are out right now, and I haven’t had time to purchase them yet — except for Kasdorf’s book, which just came in the mail today! I’m so excited about this book — Kasdorf is one of my favorite contemporary poets, and she hasn’t had a poetry book out in over 10 years!
