Read Chris Waddington's lovely review of Liza Hudock's Reveille: "The authority of these remarkable poems is wrapped up in their matter-of-fact tone — neither dismissive, nor casual about grief, but made taut by Hudock’s effort to find meaning . . ."

"In a time where many of us seem hypnotized by apocalyptic visions, Moxley celebrates everyday life, even in extraordinary circumstances. This is now unusual enough, I think, to be called brave."―Rae Armantrout

I feel a foot at 3 a.m., nudging me to get out of the way. She says, I’m going out to the crab apple tree to stand among the apples and see what I can see.

When a flood recedes,

the ground looks unfamiliar.
Everything is out of place

and all the witnesses can say is
this is where the water was.

Just reread Ronald Johnson’s amazing The Book of the Green Man (a lovely British reprint from @uniformbooks.bsky.social ), reaffirming that he is one of my favorite poets and rekindling my interest in doing a deep dive into the connections between his poetry and his cookbooks. 1/2

Patrick James Dunagan reviews She Is the Earth by Ali Cobby Eckermann, in the new issue of Rain Taxi: "There’s a sense of an outside force working on Eckermann’s consciousness, taking her toward a higher understanding of her relationship with the physical environment."

Forthcoming October: Jennifer Moxley’s The Midnight Work is a meditation on the fragility of memory and love in the increasingly mediated post-Covid world of polarized politics and climate change. It addresses old friends, living and dead, in a series of epistles among more condensed lyric poems.

At The Common, Nathaniel Perry has a perceptive recommendation of Three Roans in the Shallows, One of Them Blue: Selected Poems by Merrill Gilfillan: "like a weird novel, or like an atlas, or like a guidebook, or like an aviary, or like a bestiary . . ."
