AWP made April 1st an impossible post-date. So, here’s my slightly late to-read pile for April. This does not include my AWP haul. That post is forthcoming. So, with new acquisitions in bold:
Sixty Morning Walks, Andy Fitch
Sixty Morning Talks, Andy Fitch
Beyond the First Draft: The Art of Fiction, John Casey
Cruel Optimism, Lauren Berlant
Inferno, Dante (trans. Mary Jo Bang)
King of Pain, Christine Kanownik
It was a terrible cloud at twilight, Alessandra Lynch
It’s Go Horizontal, Leslie Scalapino
The Language of Inquiry, Lyn Hejinian
Funny how some books have shifted around even though I haven’t been able to read them. Mostly because I take them somewhere and return without being able to crack them open.
EDIT/ADDENDUM: The AWP haul:
James Baldwin, obvi
Palace of Subatomic Bliss, Darcie Dennigan
The Irrationalist, Suzanne Buffam
Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, Ross Gay
Awesome Ugly Duckling Presse green t-shirt with a print of my Death Centos broadside (!!)
Consolation and Mirth, Ish Klein
Theory on Falling into a Reef, Michelle Brittan Rosado
Continuous Frieze Bordering Red, Michelle Naka Pierce
Castles and Islands, Joshua Edwards
I Have Devoted Myself to the Clitoris, Elizabeth Hall
I have my work cut out for me… April is the cruelest/most bountiful month
