Poetry Readers Challenge discussion

Almost all of these books will be published in 2010 (Some were published in late 2009). I also plan on posting this list on my blog. I believe this is a good start -- but of course, this is not all I am going to read!

Barefoot and Listening by Margaret Bashaar
I Was the Jukebox by Sandra Beasley
Saint Monica Mary Biddinger
A Classic Game of Murder by Katie Cappello
Breach by Nicole Cooley
The Least of These by Todd Davis
The Devastation by Jill Alexander Essbaum
Bobcat Country by Brandi Homan
The book of small treasures by Christine Klocek-Lim

Underlife by January Gill O'Neil
Diwata by Barbara Jane Reyes

Update: I am adding the following books that I got for Christmas presents. I have not read these books yet, but will in 2010.

Song of the Rest of Us by Mindi Kirchner
Beautiful Rust by Ken Meisel
Uniquely Constructed Self by Nate Pritts
Recovering the Body by Nicole Cartwright Denison

Great list. I see at least three I also want to read. 2010 starts in, what, three days?

Ah, so it's your blog post that led me here. Thanks! I've already got my list settled (I tend to overplan these things), but new work from Mary Biddinger may require some shifting.

I have updated my list to include Christmas presents! (Published in 2009!)

Tell me how you like Ken Meisel. I read a couple of poems of his in a journal some years ago and have him on my long list.

I would like to add the following books to my list:

Shut Up Shut Down by Mark Nowak
Anna Washing by Ted Genoways
Midwest Eclogue by David Baker
The River is Rising by Patricia Jabbeh Wesley
Becoming Ebony by Patricia Jabbeh Wesley

Two more books for my list:
