SC25 - Day Twenty-Seven (Milkweed Editions)

What would poetry in the unnatural world sound like? Maybe something like the news. (I can't go on. I'll go on.)

I seem to have forgotten somewhere along the way my quest for a word properly representing a sideways pile of books. Now a moot point, as my very short remaining stack is a literal stack, books in a small plinth on my dresser. Almost done with this month.

August 27th - Book Twenty-Seven (Milkweed Editions)

Number of Pages: 145
Start Page: 18
Number of Poems: 50
Time Reading: 1 hour, 3 minutes

The book is You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World, edited by Ada Limón, the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States. (Back when being something “of the United States” felt a lot better than it does these days.) This is a poetical anthology of stellar quality, a who’s-who of modern poets.

This is the (quite attractive) paper cover; I took it off for purposes of reading, because I get annoyed by paper covers. My hope is to eventually reunite the two, but the odds of me finding both things in the same space-time locus are probably slim.
