Poetry Readers Challenge discussion

I'm not going to pretend to be ambitious this year. I simply want to read more than I did last year. I'm currently picking away at a beefy collection of Ogden Nash's poetry. The comic relief is just what I'm needing.

1. Without a Claim by Grace Shulman

2. Our Own Kind: 100 New Zealand Poems About Animals, edited by Siobhan Harvey

3. The Selected Writings by Henri Micheaux published by New Directions.

4. The Best of Ogden Nash, edited by Linell Nash Smith

In case anyone has been wondering where this seldom-seen moderator has been. A few excuses: Quickly getting bogged down in a huge volume of Pablo Neruda. Only recently switched to something slimmer that I find more palatable. Second job. Tarot decks (it's my year for digging into some that I've had that require some study). It looks like many people are reading books with fascinating titles but I'll probably remain scarce. Always feel free to wave a red flag if moderation is needed. Otherwise I trust y'all are enjoying yourselves and offering each other plenty of poetry temptation.

5. Caribou by Charles Wright
6.What Are Big Girls Made Of? by Marge Piercy

7. Platypus Press Anthology 1
8. Platypus Press Anthology 2

9. In the Voice of a Minor Saint by Sarah J. Sloat

10. Years Ago You Colored Me by JS Watts

With this, I only have one more to reach my originally stated goal of reading more than I read last year. I'm going to plug away at Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil and I may also manage to get in Joan Colby's Dead Horses.

11. Dead Horses by Joan Colby
12. The Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire [still working on it but should be finished in about 10 days]

And with those two I managed to read more than last year. I'm hoping I can do even better next year, perhaps even get back into a poetry reading groove.

I looked at my amazon list and found 40 books on there. 2019 will be about chipping away on that list.
