James Roome : coda

What am I reading at the moment?

Here’s an excuse to plug some excellent books I have been reading recently: Europoe, an anthology of contemporary European poetry in translation, compiled by SJ Fowler. Some surprising and challenging stuff in there. I’ve also been reading CD Wright’s book about beech trees; I think it’s from Copper Canyon Press. It’s stunning. Hard to describe, you should just buy it. I also started Leanne Shapton’s, Guest Book last night. Once again, a book that is doing something different that’s hard to describe; kind of a combination of an art project and short fiction, which aims itself at the uncanny and achieves it.
