Charlie Clark : part three

What other poetry books have you been reading lately?

Maya Phillips’s Erou is an incredible read. It’s a project book, following the hero’s journey (in this case her father’s) into the afterlife. But it manages to go so many places, to think through grief in so many different ways. I encourage everyone to seek it out.

I also just got a copy of the Wanda Coleman selected Wicked Enchantment, the one that Terrence Hayes edited for Black Sparrow Press. I’ve read some of Coleman’s work here and there, but never made a sustained inquiry into it. I’m only a handful of pages into the book, but I am already having the feeling that I’ll be coming back to it regularly.
