MODESTLY, POETRY ECONOMICS

The New Reality: Economic flatness. Mirrors my purchasing activity for poetry books or other books written by poets. Well, at least I'm still buying poetry (pun intended). Here's my latest list of po-purchases:

BOUGH BREAKS by Tamiko Beyer

THE FAR MOSQUE by Kazim Ali (a rare occasion for me to so love a particular work, in this case BRIGHT FELON, that it led me to search prior work by the poet)

VIRTUOSO LITERATURE FOR TWO AND FOUR HANDS: NEW POEMS by Diane Wakoski

MIDNIGHT'S GATE, essays by Bei Dao

CHILDREN OF DREAMS, memoir by Lorilyn Roberts

MEETING SOPHIE: A MEMOIR OF ADOPTION by Nancy McCabe
