Poets: I'm compiling a list again of poetry books for @kenyonreview, for those coming out in 2022. This is an open-ended list, & I’ll continue to add it. Comment below w/your author name, title of book & publisher. I do all this entirely on my own so appreciate your patience (1)

Wow so this is one of those dream reviews, a dreamy amount of attention and care and smartness, plus the inclusion of an ACTUAL CHART. I'm grateful for this @rochellehurt, thank you.

This took me quite a while to compile, but here it is: "A Crowd-Sourced List of (Almost 300) 2021 Poetry Collections," now live on @kenyonreview.

(Please see my note if you'd like to recommend a title to add.)

Check out my review of @lisasumme's debut collection in preparation for her book launch tomorrow! To quote myself:

"Lisa Summe’s debut poetry collection Say It Hurts (YesYes Books, 2021) is a striking examination of the queer intimacy that powerfully reshapes normative scripts."

My new poetry book PINE comes out April 5th, 2021. If you're teaching LGBTQ lit, Southern lit, poetry, cw, or other courses in the spring or next year where you think it might fit, DM me and I'll send you an advanced copy of the book. I'd be happy to Zoom into your courses, too.

endless as the sea, not separate, we die
a million times a day, we are born
a million times, each breath life and death :
get up, put on your shoes, get
started, someone will finish

I/O has a cover! This is not a drill! My book has a cover! With art by the magnificent Moyna Flannigan. I’m so excited my poems get to live behind this painting. You can read all about the relationship between the collection and cover here: https://t.co/TgslktSqvg ✨🌒✨
