Recently Arrived in the Mail

So much good stuff has arrived in my mailbox lately, I do not know where to begin – and I worry that I will not get to it all. Here are a few highlights that I am looking forward to spending time with in the next few weeks:

Reginald Harris’s award-winning book, Autogeography. Harris is a phenomenal poet and I am so excited about this book which won a prize from Cave Canem.

Mixed Race, the newest issue of AALR, the Asian-American Literary Review. For those of you who have print and publishing fetishes, this is a boxed issue of materials that is so elegant, so imaginative, and so innovative that you will want to sleep with it for a few nights while reading it.

Shira Glassman’s new novel, The Second Mango. This book looks so fun! Here is a squib from the back cover: Queen Shulamit never expected to inherit the throne of the tropical land of Perach so young. At twenty, grief-stricken and fatherless, she’s also coping with being the only lesbian she knows after her sweetheart ran off for an unknown reason.”

I’ve also been filling out my collection of Sinister Wisdom. I am only missing copies of Sinister Wisdom 4, 6, 14, 27, and 28 before my collection is complete. Have a copy of those issues? Want to send it to me? The address is here. . . .

More coming on other projects that I have been working on, meanwhile, what are you reading?
