| I’m especially fond of ekphrastic poetry, poems based on art. However, these poems are very dark, so be wary of trigger warnings. The artist committed suicide. I had to take breaks to get through the entire book. | |

| I’m a fan of Wesley McNair’s poems. This is the fourth book I’ve read by him. He does a great job of capturing the human condition, which is an even harder thing to do when you’re writing about your family, friends, and neighbors. He balances his lif ...more | |

| I haven’t read many Irish books, but I agree that Foster deserved to win the Davy Byrnes Award, “then the world’s richest prize for a story.” That’s all the better reason to run off to a bookstore or library and read it for yourself. The book is char ...more | |

| I'm a big fan of Jojo Moyes. This is the ninth novel I've read by her. I was a bit daunted by the unhappiness and difficulties of a family that came apart at the seams. The mother, the lead protagonist, feels most of the pain. Her husband left her, t ...more | |

| I've only known Hurlow slightly for a few years, but appreciate her world view and the constant bouncing about of whatever interests her in today's news and views. Her poems are short and versatile, so I'd rather you tune in to read her work for your ...more | |

| It's a rough life when children's parents die, but this book has a lot of charm, from the lovely woodblock prints to the brother's amusing goat. The children were roughing life on their own, but they were nearly starved when peddlers bought them a fe ...more | |

Thanks for recommending Henri Cole's new book, Alarie -- I've put it on my to-read list!
Jan wrote: "Thanks so much for the add, Alarie!"I was actually surprised you weren't already in my contacts, Jan. I wanted to let you know I voted for your poem in the contest. Love it! But I think I said so in IHOP. I don't usually like to say so there for fear there's another member in the grouping that I didn't notice.
We have some pretty good overlap in reading tastes, so I'm sure I'll get some ideas from you.
