Catsup: Books 75 - 82
Will I finish? I’m not certain. Here’s some catch-up:
75. Unleashed by Sina Queyras
As you may know, I’ve been blogging for Sina Queyras’ Lemon Hound blog since January 2010 (see some links below) and I enjoyed reading through the development of the blog in book form through various stops and starts and rethinks. The importance for women to make their voices public was especially meaningful for me.
76. Game Show Reversed by kevin mcpherson eckhoff
This is a slim volume, to be sure, however, at the same time I read a host of B.C.-based lit journals with a mind toward contextualizing them in a Lemon Hound post; I may still, if ever I figure out how to function on less than 6 hours a night. You Type A Poets will be the death of me. What was my point? Oh yea, this book plus them other journal things adds up to one book, and I will go back and repost what those journals were if I ever get around to it.
My reversal of a review of Game Show Reversed appears on Lemon Hound here.
77. Indexical Elegies by Jon Paul Fiorentino
My Indexical Review of Indexical Elegies appears on Lemon Hound here.
78. Inventory by Marguerite Pigeon
My Inventory of Inventory appears on Lemon Hound here.
79. ecologue by Ken Belford
Belford is my favourite ecologically minded poet. He writes land and language and love and sex without being saccharine, sentimental, sexist or cloying. These poems have muscle, and heart. ecologue is perhaps the first in the trilogy of ecologue, lan(d)guage and Decompositions.
80. Every Day in the Morning (Slow) by Adam Seelig
Review on LH here.
81. Recipes From The Red Planet by Meredith Quartermain
So great. Review forthcoming on LH, and hopefully a preview on Advent Book Blog too.
82. Clockfire by Jonathan Ball
I plan to review this along with ex machina on LH, soon, soon…
