Still 27 balmy degrees
Here are three new books that are sitting on my desk. I've got an hour to read and draft before hitting the slopes of higher ed.

Help support poets and poetry by either buying or borrowing a copy of one of these books today.

I just read Temper at B and N, and I thought you would like it--pretty lyrical. Oh, and very familiar subject matter (LOL), but its own approach. I liked it, and I read it really quickly. I probably need to read it again at a slower pace.

Hey, T. I think I'm going to post my thoughts on Temper on Wednesday. Will keep you posted! (I also read it quickly and plan to go back and read more slowly tonight.)
I emailed you about it! The other book I read was *The End of the West* by Michael Dickman. I just read that he's an identical twin poet or something.
Tara
Hah! I know. I read your email first. Email me about the Dickman.
I loved Prairie Fever.
Suzanne, thanks for the note. I'm excited to read them all.
