Poet and scholar Jane Wong (author of Overpour) shared her to-read pile, as well as some amazing broadsides! From Jane:
A recent book pile (some that I am currently reading, will have to wait until summer/the end of teaching to read, and some that I just finished reading):
Vi Khi Nao, Umbilical Hospital
Simone John, Testify
Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge
Carmen Maria Machado, Her Body and Other Parties
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
Ely Shipley, Some Animal
Diana Khoi Nguyen, Ghost Of
Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life
Shayla Lawson, I Think I’m Ready to See Frank Ocean
Aisha Sabatini Sloan, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit
And a few more books that I have on my to-read list:
Duy Doan, We Play a Game
Jamel Brinkley, A Lucky Man: Stories
Bridget Talone, The Soft Life
June Jordan, We’re On: A June Jordan Reader
Hieu Minh Nguyen, Not Here
Ed. Christopher Soto, Nepantla: An Anthology Dedicated to Queer Poets of Color
Ed. Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, Go Home! anthology

Here’s my pile which, somehow, has maintained insane levels despite my making serious progress on the long books (always a struggle).
