NESTS AND NESTING!


Kelsey Street Press now has a book page up for NESTS AND STRANGERS: ON ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN POETS Edited by Timothy Yu with Afterword by MG Roberts. I relished it and blurbed it!

Speaking of books, here's the rest of my latest Relished W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects!  More info on that HERE. I get review copies almost everyday so please check out the link!


PUBLICATIONS
POST SUBJECT: A FABLE, poems by Oliver de la Paz (LPR #161. Wonderful: an imaginative concept manifested with lyric grace)

ARIANE: A STOCK EPIC, conceptual poetry by Angelo Suarez (sly and brilliant.  LPR #163)

THE OTHER SIDE: SERIES FROM THE 1980s AND 1990s by Marton Koppany, Edited by G. Farn6aer (my first poetry read of 2015, and it’s a good one!)

CITIZEN, poetry by Claudia Rankine (LPR #164.  Magnificent.  And when compared with her first poetry collection NOTHING IN NATURE shows how magnificently she has progressed in her craft.  She shows why a poet should not be timid—her poetry resounds.)
