STILL WAITING TO PEEL MOI A GRAPE!

Based on the first (not top, first) 50 books I've loved and listed on Link In To Poetry, these poetry publishers are doing a fabulous job by moi taste (based on that they're represented with more than one beloved book):

Ahsahta Press
Coffee House Press
Dos Madres Press
Insert Blanc Press
Ugly Duckling Presse
Wave Books

I like creating lists because list-making offers heretofore unknown revelations. Like, from the above list, I would have expected only two of those publishers. Well, I'm glad to know this info... now, onto other lists:

As you can see from the above, the house  grapes are still green.  They'll probably ripen while I'm out of town for the rest of July.  Well, the yellow squash, cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, strawberries and recently the tomatoes have come out out! Which is to say, here’s the latest update of my Recently Relished W(h)ine List below. As ever, 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.
