Toni, great list, some names new to me.
I read Wingbeats and truly enjoyed it. I've used several of the exercises.

Many of these are new to me, too. Most of these are books I bought at the recent AWP meeting in Chicago. I met Scott Wiggerman, Frank Giampietro, Chad Sweeney, and Suzanne Roberts, a very accomplished young woman. Annie Finch, I know from the West Chester conference. Maryann Corbett is an old friend (from online) and I'm familiar with most of the poems. Will definitely post some reviews as I work my way through the list.

Hi Toni,
Thanks for your list. Looking forward to your reviews. I have heard of all of three of those poets!

Well, I haven't done very well this year. I've read a few of these books, haven't reviewed many. I vow to do better next year! Maybe once November's over, I'll be able to read a few more on my list.

Look ahead! I also failed this year, but am not discouraged. smile.

You're not the only person who will be rolling a list over into the new year. Just makes 2013's reading all that much easier. No need to develop a list, just start reading!

I think I read about half of these. Only reviewed three or four. Will roll the rest over to 2013 -- if the world doesn't end next Friday. :)
