Poetry Readers Challenge discussion

Some of these books have been in my ‘to-read’ pile since the autumn so I’m hoping that by listing them it will make me engage with them properly and review them. As you can see there’s lots of space left.

I’m Welsh and live in England so many of my choices come from my side of the Atlantic although I’m happy to be introduced to poetry from other nations, especially poetry in translation.
