STUFF TO READ: Amy Lawless & Ben Mirov

Many of you are probably well aware of these writers, but for those of you who haven't read much by them and are looking for something new, I'd recommend checking these two titles out.  I'm not a poetry reviewer, and won't attempt to be an authority on the subject, or bust out a thesaurus to describe in intricate detail just why I enjoyed these books, but I will say "I like them."  NOCTIS LICENTIA and GHOST MACHINE have both been available for awhile, so if you are thinking "of course I know about these, newbie." then I apologize.

STUFF TO READ: Poetry to Read/Hear by Juliet Cook

As soon as I figure out how blogs work, I'm sure I'll be posting more about my interests (or more often disinterests) as time goes on.  Juliet Cook writes some very interesting material.  Read/listen to her poems at Menacing Hedge.

My name is Robert Cole and I bet that's your name too.
