BUYING POETRY IN THE SLOW LANE

I'm slipping....been so busy and so behind that I've not bought many new poetry books of late. But I still managed a few:

THE GINKGO LIGHT by Arthur Sze

SELECTED POEMS 1956-1975 by Diane di Prima

A self-designed limited edition book by Lorna Dee Cervantes (ordered it; can't wait to see it)

FOR GIRLS & OTHERS by Shanna Compton

MY ZORBA by Danielle Pafunda

WARSAW BIKINI by Sandra Simonds

[The last three purchases reflect Galatea Resurrects' support of their publisher, Bloof Books (though await invoice).]

Sadly, I'm a believer that the interior "W" will profile the current recession (notwithstanding current uptick, will contract again shortly thereafter). So keep buying poetry publications -- believe Moi, their publishers will need your support!
