Aaron Kent Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Aaron Kent

Kate's work came to me highly recommended by Keston Sutherland. Kate had no publication credits or existing readership, but I was blown away by the music of her work. She's since had two poems, 'Spat' and 'Busstop Blues' in @VeritySpott's Fatberg magazine. This book is amazing. https://t.co/zo7J6PnnkQ

Looking for lyric essay recommendations. I think Claudia Rankine is brilliant, and have Ross Gay's The Book of Delights lined up for when I have some spare cash. What other lyric essays should I be reading?

If you haven't read anything by Eric Baus you should start now. This, from the brilliant How I Became A Hum. https://t.co/EJGE5N71FM
