Kate Gaskin : part two

What other poetry books have you been reading lately?

I’ve recently read Graham Barnhart’s The War Makes Everyone Lonely and Abby E. Murray’s Hail and Farwell. Both deal with the tensions of critically engaging with the U.S.’s recent (and ongoing) wars. I love how technically beautiful Barnhart’s work is, and Murray’s is delightfully clever, even funny. I’ve also recently read Jenny Molberg’s new collection Refusal which is an absolutely scorching powerhouse of a book. Hayan Charara’s Something Sinister is singularly the most absorbing and memorable book I’ve read in the recent past.
