Caroline's list for 2013

[Caroline]

I've started with Stag's Leap which was superb.

I'll be curious to hear your take on In Parenthesis too.

1. Stag's Leap: Poems by Sharon Olds
2. In Parenthesis by David Jones
3. Red Army Red by Jehanne Dubrow

But first I have to get my own manuscript off to my publisher by Friday.

[Jen]

Exciting, Caroline! I hope all goes smoothly with your book. Keep us posted!

Well it's in the hands of my publisher now. Thanks for asking.

[Caroline]

Ok I'm still reading choices 2 and 3. David Jones is going to take most of this year I feel so don't let anyone hold their breath waiting for a review. I'm enjoying it but it's not a poem to be rushed. Meanwhile I've slipped in another shorter collection.

4. Poems by Lynette Roberts

[Caroline]

5. 52 Ways Of Looking At A Poem: or How Reading Modern Poetry Can Change Your Life by Ruth Padel.

[Caroline]
