by James Galvin

I loved "No Bastian" as well-- just stunning. When he's on, he's incredible. ]]> <![CDATA[Heather June added 'As Is']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58988986 to: As Is (Paperback) by James Galvin
This is tough. Galvin was one of my teachers, and I have a lot of respect for him and his body of work, and are a handful of beautiful, stunning poems in here, but on the whole, I gotta say, this book was disappointing. ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Heather June]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78245665 Shappi's review of Skirmish: Poems

bookshelves: teaching
A timely, somewhat controversial, and much-needed anthology of many wonderful contemporary American poets. I don't always agree with the editors' selections, but I'm so glad this anthology exists. I'm tired of trying to teach from anthologies that claim to be contemporary yet contain mostly poets from the 1950s-60s-- and only a narrow, rather conservative slice of their generation at that. ]]> <![CDATA[Heather June added 'Crazy Love: New Poems']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78553923 Crazy Love: New Poems (Paperback) by Pamela Uschuk

I love how sensual and funny and smart and imaginative these poems are. I agree with Shappi-- a strong first collection. ]]>
