Books I taught in the 2nd half of my NYU graduate craft course this term. Not pictured is REVOLVER by Robin Schiff. First half was last fall on prosody. Topic was a gauntlet of poetry tools and styles including long poem, short poem, fragmentation, surrealism/mythos and more! https://t.co/8vocxF39eF

Favorite novel over 600 pages? I think mine is still East of Eden by John Steinbeck, though Mosquito by Gayl Jones has me wondering.

Winter Numbers: Poems

Marilyn Hacker
Phillip B. WilliamsPhillip B. Williams

There's Lo Kwa Mei-en's poems that use every word and syntactical arrangement in existence. Super dense and formally rigorous. Venùs Khoury-Ghata (tr Marilyn Hacker) with her title-less vignettes of mythos and surrealism. Jos Charles's archaisms, neologisms, and taut sparsity.

Beloved

Toni Morrison
Phillip B. WilliamsPhillip B. Williams

Rewatching the Toni Morrison document The Pieces I Am and got to the part where some male critics, responding to her Nobel Prize win, said she made "men, Black men, look bad" in BELOVED. I don't know a more caring Black male character in literature than Stamp Paid. Envy is wild.
