KIRBY : part five

What other poetry books have you been reading? 

I do tend to read ‘professionally,’ manuscripts and forthcoming… that and I’ve been tits-deep in stacks of queer poetry of late. Travis Sharp’s I Am A Corpse Flower is nothing shy of a revelation (yes, I published it at KFB), the new Cavafy translations by Evan Jones (Carcanet Press), Dani Spinosa’s cheeky, spot-on manifesto, Visual Poetry for Women (Anstruther Press), Chad Campbell’s disarmingly elegant Nectarine (Vehicule Press), and I can’t put down Cassandra Troyan’s Freedom & Prostitution (The Elephants) <<< this.
