Recommendation: Held Together with Tape and Glue by Pamela Hobart Carter
Originally posted on freethoughtandmetaphor:
Pamela Hobart Carter’s new poetry book, Held Together with Tape and Glue is a collection of gentle meditations, mostly on ordinary topics. Some of the poems are erasure poems, but I couldn’t tell which if I hadn’t read the acknowledgements in the front of the book. There’s no flaunting of technique…

I read it frontwards for a few poems, and then chose to go backwards, and loved the progressions from both directions.
