Reel Verse: Poems about the Movies | 
so-soThis was a mixed bag. Many of the poems were about or in praise of films I am not familiar with. This hindered my reading experience a bit. The standouts tended to deal with film more generally. I have sought out collections by two poets, Sonia Greenfield and Gregory Djanikian, so I‘ll count that as a win. Definitely recommend it for someone who‘s more of a film buff than I am.

Last lines: “so we duck into seedy bars while tourists/mug with our tread-upon stars inlaid/along Hollywood Boulevard”
This poem jumped out at me today and I needed to share it. Incidentally, it fits into #weirdwords Wednesday for the word “mug.” Not particularly because of how it sounds but more the multiple meanings- a cup, a face, making a face, the criminal act- so many ways to mug! Honorable mentions for sextinas…
