What other poetry books have you been reading lately?
I read and review a lot of poetry books. On an annual basis, I’d venture a guess that I read about fifty books of poems, alongside novels, plays, and creative non-fiction essay collections. Lately, I’ve been reading Yvonne Blomer’s The Last Show on Earth and Heather Nolan’s Land of the Rock: Talamh an Carraig. I read poetry every day. The more poetry I read, the more I grow as a poet, so I love doing close readings of other people’s work. I learn from my fellow poets, and I’m grateful for that. I think my editing of my own work, too, has benefited from my deep dive into poetry over the last six years in particular.
