Here are some reading resolutions for you for the new year:
You should check out Karen Weyant's
best poetry book list of 2011 - I'm honored to be included but the rest of the list is terrific as well!
You should also check out the wonderful e-book poetry anthology edited by Kelli R. Agodon and Annette Spaulding-Convy,
Fire On Her Tongue: an eBook Anthology of Contemporary Women's Poetry
. I've got a few poems in it, as do wonderful Seattle poets like Martha Silano and Susan Rich, and superstars like Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux.
And, I am so grateful for finding this on my Kindle - one of my favorite Japanese writers, Osamu Dazai, put together a collection of fairy tales while he was alive in the 1930s. Now this collection is available in English (even on my Kindle!):
Otogizoshi: The Fairy Tale Book of Dazai Osamu (Translated)
