Ellen Roberts Young | 238 comments I think I'm crazy to do this because it will show that I'm definitely not going to reach 20 reviews in a year. My action to date:
1. Walking Papers by Thomas Lynch
2. A Poetry of Remembrance by Levi Romero
3. Trilogy by H.D.
4. Kyrie by Ellen Bryant Voigt
5. Improbable Music by Sandra Kohler

Ellen Roberts Young | 238 comments I've made it to 12. Outcasts, by Eve Rifkah.
I though I had a number 13, a chapbook by Steve Lautermilch titled Rim. But I find it was only circulated as an issue of Sow's Ear, where it was the chapbook contest winner, and seems to be unavailable. A pity, because it is an interesting collection, but there's no point in reviewing something that no one can get.

Twelve is a very respectable showing, Ellen. I look forward to reading more of your reviews next year.

However, I don't think you should hold back from reviewing Lautermilch's chap just because we can't get it. I've never heard of him before so it would serve as an introduction to the poet.

Ellen! You beat me! 12 is a good number. I enjoyed your reviews this year. I hope you'll join us again in 2013. As Jen said, go ahead and review Lautermilch's chap. I have a chap that's no longer available and would still be thrilled if someone who did have it reviewed it. Part of what we do here is bring poets, not just their specific books, to poetry lovers' attention.

Ellen Roberts Young | 238 comments Thanks for the encouragement. I'll get back to work on "Rim." And I've got a batch of books on order from Powell's to keep me going in 2013.
