"TREMBLING HAND EQUILIBRIUM"

And the poetry read of the day is Barry Schwabsky’s palpably-charged TREMBLING HAND EQUILIBRIUM!  But 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.
