pickThanks to the wonderful review from @ReadingEnvy I added this slim volume of poems inspired by the last presidential inauguration to my TBR and was thrilled to discover that is available on hoopla. Only 23 pages but I found a lot to linger over.
pickNational Poetry Month, day 2.
Inauguration by Idris Goodwin and Nico Wilkinson came out from Haymarket not long after Trump‘s inauguration.
Favorites include

Benediction for the black motorist
"...Just one more, deep breath
Even though inside a volcano exhales
Ancestors and the un-avenged"
2017 was a pretty good reading year for me, haven't had much time to look at any stats but I think I read more graphic novels + poetry than last year (which were two of my goals) & I also finished the two challenges participated in as well (Read Harder & LitsyAtoZ). I know I won't have as much time to read this year but I'm aming to read more favorites
My year in books!
Also, really, no one else read Monsters Eating Ice Cream? Sadness. It is such a cute book of poems!
