(in regards to the zinger at the article's opening)
NPR--Part Time Poetry Peddlers. NPR's website is a daily stop for me in cyberspace. I'm sure you'll see more from them on this blog in the future. (13.7 Cosmos and Culture Blog, anyone? That Marcelo Gleiser gets my cerebral juices going every time.)
Gleiser-inspired lubrication aside, I was excited to see this little round-up of new poetry. I'm particularly intrigued by Red Doc>, Metaphysical Dog: Poems, Senegal Taxi, Duppy Conqueror, and Ron Padget's Collected Poems.
I'll admit right here, right now--Ron Padget is the only author on that list with whom I am familiar. And I read more poetry than your average twenty-something Jane. Only serves to remind me how little I have read in the grand scheme of things . . . and how much reading I'm fixin' to do this year to (futilely) try to remedy that fact.
No one will ever read it all, right? C'est impossible.
What's on your literary hit list for the New Year?
Happy Reading!
