Perhaps unsurprisingly, we’re rolling in a little late this month as news kept us glued to screens rather than books. But! Joshua Rivkin‘s poetry collection Suitor is hot off the presses and he shares his to-read pile with us this month! What he hopes to (re)read soon:
Twice There Was a Country, Alen Hamza
Guillotine, Eduardo Corral
The Black Maria, Aracelis Girmay
Underworld Lit, Srikanth Reddy
Kontemporary Amerikan Poetry, John Murillo
The Unreality of Memory, Elisa Gabbert
My Autobiography of Carson McCullers, Jenn Shapland
Minor Feelings, Cathy Park Hong
Cleanness, Garth Greenwell
Middle Distance, Stanley Plumley
Making headway, but still so much to go. Proud of myself for not acquiring so many new books, considering this stack.
