What I'm Reading: Crab Orchard Review 13.1
The weather here in Arkansas has been surprisingly beautiful for the middle of June. A run of days with low humidity means mornings spent on the deck listening to the cardinals establish their territories and reading. Today, I read through all the poems in Crab Orchard 13.1. My very favorite poet-friend Tara Bray has 2 outstanding poems there. Along the way, I discovered some names well-known to me with poems that lived up to the reputation (Michelle Boisseau, Andrea England, Paul Gibbons, & Susan Ludvigson), as well as finding some names unfamiliar to me with poems that drowned out the sounds around me (Amorak Huey, Lynne Potts, Lauren Rooker, Angela Rydell, & Maya Jewell Zeller).

Doing a narcissearch for my name and came across this reference. Cool. Nice blog, too; I enjoyed your thoughts on the poetic life. (And nifty that you link to Adam Clay's blog; I took classes with him at Western Michigan.)
Best,
Amorak Huey
