Kathleen | 143 comments Just joined in July, but will backtrack to January, if I can to list poetry books read in 2010 (and review what I can, in the spirit of this group!). This won't be in chronological order:

Midwest Eclogue by David Baker
The Coronary Garden by Ann Townsend
Swimming With a Hundred Year Old Snapping Turtle by Freya Manfred
My Only Home by Freya Manfred
The Never-Ending by Andrew Hudgins
In the Voice of a Minor Saint by Sarah J. Sloat
Before OnStar by Sarah Carson
The Poetry of A. E. Hennessey (handsewn chapbook)
Apocrypha by Susan Slaviero
Looking for Montrose Street by Carol Frith
Stepping Through Moons by Toni L. Wilkes

Upcoming:

Womb/Seed/Fruit by Donna Vorreyer
Cyborgia by Susan Slaviero
Epiphany by Chris Green
Trip Wires by Connie Post
Fault Lines by Tim Hunt
Redneck Yoga by Tim Hunt
Resin by Geri Doran
Human Dark with Sugar by Brenda Shaughnessy
In the Next Galaxy by Ruth Stone
What Feeds Us by Diane Lockward
Temptation by Water by Diane Lockward
Alchemist's Kitchen by Susan Rich
Level Green by Judith Vollmer
Words for Empty and Words for Full by Bob Hicok

That's the plan, anyway. Will add & update later. Hope to figure out the mechanics here, where & how to post reviews, etc. gradually....

Updating list with some I've read/acquired/wishlisted since:

Like Happiness by Michael Hettich
The Correct Spelling & Exact Meaning by Richard Jones
Late Wife by Claudia Emerson
Pinion by Claudia Emerson
Sweetgrass by Micah Ling
Turtles All the Way Down by Kathryn Kerr
The Fugitive Kind by Austin Hummell
The Second Blush by Molly Peacock

Updating in October:

What Goes On by Stephen Dunn
The Unswept Room by Sharon Olds
One Secret Thing by Sharon Olds
Underlife by January Gill O'Neil
A Civic Pageant by Frank Montesonti
The Beforelife by Franz Wright
Two Trees by Ellen Bryant Voigt
The Lady in Kicking Horse Reservoir by Richard Hugo

Updating in December:

The Clock of the Long Now by Marion Boyer
The Utility of Heartbreak by Charles Reynard
Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room by Kelli Russell Agodon
This Awkward Art by Conrad Hilberry and Jane Hilberry

These are some that have come my way, some already read, still in 2010. Will update later to count what I really managed to read (and read & review!) in 2010. A couple of the books are not yet acquired, and one is not yet published and might not come out till 2011, but I know it's there!

Hi Kathleen -
Love your list - looking forward to your reviews. I saw you review of the Freya Manfred book the other day and that one is interesting to me...

Don't worry about order.

The only tricky thing about the group is when you review a book (like your Manfred review), you have to post it here, too. So you review it just as usual on your own profile so every Good Reads member in the world who's interested has access to it, then you have to copy into the "Reviews" section on this group's page. Not a big deal, a tiny bit of a drag, but we won't all see the review unless you escort it in, and I for one am interested in seeing it!

Thanks.
