Day 82 -- What I'm Reading

Kay Redfield Jamison, Louise Erdrich, Robert Lowell,  my own manuscript of poems, Hidden Timber Books' Anthology: Family Stories from the Attic, and Poets and Writers Magazine

I am thrilled to be reading Robert Lowell, Setting the River on Fire A Study of Genius, Mania, and Character by Kay Redfield Jamison. I'm also reading Lowell's poems.  

I recently enjoyed The Beet Queen by Louise Erdrich, and have started Shadow Tag. 

Family Stories From the Attic is an Anthology by Hidden Timber Books--it contains two of my poems among many wonderful pieces of writing based on family papers and artifacts.  

My poetry manuscript was a finalist in the Michigan Writers Cooperative Press 2017 Poetry Chapbook Contest, judged by Patricia Clark. I'm rereading and reworking my poetry manuscript --both chapbook and full length--to be considered for publication. Poets and Writers Magazine is helping me keep my deadlines straight.
