I've long been skeptical of Don Miguel Ruiz, though I'm glad that Greg asked me to read The Four Agreements several years ago. It was helpful to consider some of those agreements, though I rather doubt they've been passed down by generations. I know

Kate recommended this. I listened to it and loved how the author read it. So excellent--I need to read it in print. 11/15/2025: I read it slowly this time and savored it. I'm looking forward to Prentis Hemphill's visit to campus in January. ...more |

| I loved this book so much. The poems are heartfelt, funny, brilliant. I love the opening line of "Diamonds:" "Judith Butler, I am calling you out." Yes, please. More of that. I love the contrast between the life of the mind and life throughout these ...more | |

| I saw this book on a listicle about Pittsburgh, so I was hooked. Even better, the book takes place in Sewickley, oh so close to the suburb where I grew up: Moon Township. I used to refer to Moon Township as a cultural wasteland when I was in high sch ...more | |

| I loved this book, and I was surprised that a book about Elizabeth Cady Stanton could be so interesting. I admit that I'd long dismissed her as a racist elite from the past, someone who had nothing to say to me, a granddaughter of the illiterate immi ...more | |

| We had a great discussion about this gorgeous book. It gives me hope that such an unusual book--part prose poem, part philosophical discourse, part environmental nonfiction--without a conventional plot won the Booker prize. I loved the writing and th ...more | |

| I enjoyed every poem in this collection, especially when I read them out loud. My favorite was Lovesong of the Square Root of Negative One. The sounds, so beautiful. This book is full of math and art and war, and it all blends together. So much humor ...more | |

| I loved this book! I found out about it through some literary newsletter. I appreciate how the narrator is unnamed, and that the story unfolds in short pieces. There's a poet's attention to detail here, and phrasing. The writing is beautiful. I also ...more | |

| This book was amazing. I've been a fan of Siken's work since Crush came out--can that really be 20 years ago? Time. And time is a theme in Siken's latest book which is explicitly autobiographical and in prose poems. I read in an interview that his ch ...more | |

| I have such mixed feelings about this book. I think a skilled editor could have tightened it up, made it more decisive and purposeful. It could have had a bigger impact. Jong-Fast does convey the chaos of this terrible and difficult year; her chaotic ...more | |

| I so enjoyed this book. I share the notion that some of the most important men in my life have been writers and characters, some long dead. I enjoyed Vivian Gornick's reflections on reading these writers. I discovered writers I'd like to read, like G ...more | |
