J.S. Watts | 501 comments As at the beginning of 2023, I am in the middle of reading a collaborative chapbook by four poets and owe this group a review from one of my 2022 reads. I'm planning on reading John Greening's The Silence later in the year, but have no concrete plans beyond that for the time being.

So, at the moment it's:

1. A Dedication to Drowning - still to review
2. How Bright The Wings Drive Us - READ
3. The Silence - Currently reading

A collaborative chapbook is an interesting idea.

Yes it worked reasonably well with themes and poetic links evolving throughout the book and bringing the poems together.
