Ankh Spice : coda

What other poetry books have you been reading lately?

I’m a chronic ‘dipper in-and-outer’ who has dozens on the go at any one time, in various bags and stacks and in the car, so I’ve chosen to answer this by emptying one backpack, looking at the smallest (I swear) of the bedside stacks, and at what’s in my most recent downloads for e-versions.
