Diana Arterian’s April (¡poetry month!) to-read pile

written by Diana Arterian

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:

Collected Poems, H.D.

Sixty Morning Walks, Andy Fitch

Sixty Morning Talks, Andy Fitch

Beyond the First Draft: The Art of Fiction, John Casey

The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Cruel Optimism, Lauren Berlant

King of Pain, Christine Kanownik

It was a terrible cloud at twilight, Alessandra Lynch

Wonderbender, Diane Wald

It’s Go Horizontal, Leslie Scalapino

Blacks, Gwendolyn Brooks

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:
