I BOUGHT POETRY IN 2017

An outstanding read: Leona Chen's BOOK OF CORD

Purchased poetry publications are not the primary source of my poetry reading. But I did find this list of 134 poetry titles—poetry collections or other genres but authored by a poet—in 2017. I know it's an incomplete list, but here's what I know I bought:
