Looking at some year-end lists that inevitably surface, I'm struck at how those I favor don't appear. So, since I read/view a lot of poetry, I'll dive into the subjective fray:
From my 2018 poetry reads, here’s a Baker’s Dozen
worth of Poetry titles whose brilliance made them standouts (not all are 2018
titles; I just read them during 2018). I bow to authors (listed in alphabetical
order) and their publishers:
