THE DEEPLY MUSICAL ... SEMBLANCE!

A SEMBLANCE: SELECTED AND NEW POEMS 1975-2007 by Laura Moriarty (Omnidawn) is a revelation -- I'd had no clue just how fabuloso Laura's poems were, in part because much of her work has not been accessible to me. Well, her SELECTED addresses the needed compilation. Check it out -- it is one of the most lush, gaw-geous, lyrical, musical poetry collections I have ever read!

And here's my latest Relished W(h)ine list:
