State of Grace | Joy Williams

When we are broken-brained, we reread the first 40 pages of STATE OF GRACE to remember that language can make one want to live.

Museum of Accidents | Rachel Zucker

Pickpick

Slowly working my way through all of Rachel Zucker's work. You can see throughout her love of Alice Notley; never derivative, lovely to behold. I'm especially interested in the ways she (like Alice) enlarges domesticity to show (an often difficult, fraught, fucked) texture.

Hatred of Poetry | Ben Lerner

Pickpick

I think with this book Lerner has opened up a space for a really interesting and important conversation to take place (to continue). And his analytic mode is so precise and exact, a marvel to watch as it processes, pushes, refutes, refuses.

shawnmooney Wow... 8y

Little Labors | Rivka Galchen

Not only is it a stunning text, full of the beautiful ricocheting of Galchen's mind, which is a treasure to watch at work on the page, it's also probably my favorite cover design of the year. Beautiful.

Unlike anything I've ever read. Captures the complications of grief like few writers have.
