Back in the (poetry) saddle

After a few months of being away from Poetryland (writing, PLR, etc.), I'm back! I'm reading Michael Burkard's Unsleeping , Jericho Brown's Please, and Katie Ford's Colosseum. Please and Colosseum are for possible review and both are stunning. I'm feeling the rush of poem-writing and looking forward to a month off from teaching comp to actually write!

Check out the new issues of The American Poetry Journal (I wrote a review of Brenda Shaughnessy's newest, Human Dark with Sugar).
