Greg Bem rated a book it was amazing Recollections of My Nonexistence: A Memoir by Rebecca Solnit	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
This book is so, so good. I love most of what Solnit has authored and I this one really struck me because, while also creative nonfiction, it is directly about Solnit's life as a writer. It's super short too, which supports the brevity of Solnit's id ...more

Greg Bem rated a book it was amazing Yi Sang: Selected Works by Yi Sang	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
This is a monumental work. It would be difficult to summarize the range/scope within a short review here. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in or accustomed to modern and contemporary Korean poetry. Inspired by Dada, Yi's work is also deli ...more

Tanya Holtland's first full length book dives deep into the textures of spiritual ecology through four distinct but inseparable sequences of sparse verse that sit like crystals on the page. Each passage is concerned with potential and actual transfor ...more

While the concepts are at their core inspiring, this book ultimately fails to hold up in 2021. The themes are entirely heteronormative, the references to Christianity are obnoxious, and the pressure of the institution of marriage is surreal. Google t ...more

My first foray into Rita Dove's early work. She's clearly on an elevated plain, contemplative and not holding back between all the poems and their themes. A book filled with literary and historical references, but deeply personal, Grace Notes is the ...more

Nico Vassilakis brings the full casual into his world of vispo and alphabetic poetics. Unlike previous works that have examined the visual through the visual, Voir Dire presents sequences in more conventional verse. The examination brings out the poe ...more
