J.S.'s 2015 Reading List

[J.S.]

My initial (aspirational) reading list for 2015 is as follows:

1. Stripe (anthology) - READ Jan/Feb (1)
2. Lighthouses by Allison McVety - READ March (2)
3. Answering Back (anthology) - READ April (3)
4. Mick Imlah: Selected Poems - READ July (7)
5. Lundone by Cardinal Cox - READ July (8)
6. Ode to Love: 100 Poems of Love & Lust (anthology) -READ May/June (6)
7. Cabaret of Curiosities by Cardinal Cox

I'm hoping to add more as the year proceeds, but I like beginning with gentle steps.

Additional titles added subsequently as I have acquired them:

8. The Clockwork Gift by Claire Crowther - READ May 2015 (5)
9. Poems For Peace (anthology) - READ April 2015 (4)
10.The Book of Love and Loss (anthology)
11. The Age of Saturn by John Gohorry - READ (10)
12. Jupiter Works on Commission by Jack Phillips Lowe - READ November 2015 (9)

Declaring 7 (1/3 of the goal) is a pretty big step! I'm especially curious to see what you think of Answering Back. The premise interests me both as a reader and a poet.
