Sorry I've been MIA this year. I've been reading a lot of poetry but reviewing it mostly on Youtube. Laziness: it's easier to quote verbally and it's easier to just talk about a book than craft a review.

Then the second half of the year family medical issues and a move to help care for my mom turned my life topsy turvy. Now making videos is problematic so I'm going to see how many of my video reviews can be summarized in text form here.

In no particular order, these are the books I've read thus far:

1. Blood Snow by dg nanouk okpik (done)
2. Hotel Oblivion by Cynthia Cruz (done)
3. The Voice That Is Great Within Us, ed. Hayden Carruth (done)
4. Still Life by Jay Hopler (done)
5. Then the War by Carl Phillips (done)
6. The People, Yes by Carl Sandburg (done)
7-9. Best American Poetry 2000 (done), 2023 (done), 2024 (done)
10. Tripas by Brandon Som (done)
11. Modern Poetry by Diane Seuss (done)
12. Life on Earth by Dorianne Laux (done)
13. Suddenly We by Evie Shockley (done)
14. Things You May Find In My Ear by Mosab Abu Toha (done)

16. Poems Seven by Alan Dugan (done)
17. Selected Poems 1950-2012 by Adrienne Rich (done)
