BLOOD DAZZLED!

Blogging another update to my Recently Relished W(h)ine List below. In the Publications section, note that if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects)! More info on that HERE.


PUBLICATIONS
* BLOOD DAZZLER, poems by Patricia Smith (Magnificent. With this book, I am made a fan of Patricia Smith—finally, I get all the accolades I keep hearing about her…and I am happy to get it!)

REBIRTH OF WONDER: POEMS OF THE COMMON LIFE by David M. Johnson (first book of poetry read in 2012)

HYPERGLOSSIA, poems by Stacy Szymaszek

SELECTED POEMS by Harvey Shapiro

A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE GREAT RECESSION, journalism by Arthur Delaney (the first book I read on my new Kindle. And it shows the dark side of e-publishing. This book generated from Delaney's prior columns on The Huffington Post, and it shows. There was little attempt to make the collection more weighty for purpose of book publishing. In my non-humble opinion, there should be some additional value-added to the project being converted into a book. For example, ahem, to see how e-posts (e.g. blog posts) could be converted to what should be a higher content threshold of a book, do feel free to check out my own effort HERE.)
