MOI FAVORITE 2012 POETRY READ!
I think I just read what just would become my FAVORITE 2012 POETRY READ: the latest poetry collection from John Olson, LARYNX GALAXY (Black Widow Press). Do yourself a favor and CHECK IT OUT!
I also recently read Rene Ricards’ LOVE POEMS. What’s interesting, too, is that I happened to have the book lying on the dining table. Well, Michael saw it and picked it and drew this...on the proverbial napkin!
I believe he liked the image of the turkey-heart. Then, coz he's a boy-chick, he also drew this:
Sigh. Anyway, if he can focus, he's such a talented hijo! And here’s the latest update of my Recently Relished W(h)ine List below (a tad heavy on airport reading). Also, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects! More info on that HERE.
