The Lost Animals
Davin Luke and James Chia
From THE LOST ANIMALS by @dcazdn "the girl’s name/rolled on the rocks of my tongue.... it flashed to my lips/like a fish on a line,/caught in the bends//and sluices of memory, a branch/in the mouth of a stream." Check out my review on Goodreads! https://t.co/jtYJA4aHsh

The Colossus: And Other Poems
Sylvia Plath
After reading RED COMET, I was anxious to revisit Sylvia Plath's poetry. THE COLOSSUS is especially amazing considering that she was just 28 when it was published in 1960. This is the work of a mature voice with compelling images, metaphors, and insights. https://t.co/ZzKPI9XYr4
