Nina, I would like to be your next-door neighbor. I could come over and borrow these from you. I'd especially like to read Brent Goodman's book, but I also recently decided I should read Alan Shapiro, and I remember a couple people read and enjoyed Erika Meitner's most recent (?) collection, too.
I look forward to your reviews.

Nina | 1383 comments I finally had the experience several of you have described- a treasure-trove of poetry books in a used bookstore. I just returned from a conference in Little Rock. While exploring, I discovered a 3-story used bookstore. All of the books are donated, so the prices are incredibly low, and the proceeds go to the Arkansas library system.
Here are my poetry finds:

Ghost Notesby Ralph Burns
Voices Through Skin by Theresa Senato Edwards
Solo Crossing by Meg Campbell
Paper-Whites for Lady Jane: Poems of a Midlife Love Affairby Louis Daniel Brodsky
Walk On The Wild Side edited by Nicholas Christopher

It's great to find a used book store that actually has good poetry books. I know one near where my sister lives in Philly. But I am not telling anyone where exactly... smile
