Holy crap, school’s almost done. Everyone have their summer reading list?
I hope so. I’ve get a lot on my plate, including Campbell McGrath’s narrative prose poem book Seven Notebooks, Jim Krusoe’s Iceland, and Jose Saramago’s Blindness. I read his book The Cave a little while back and it was really really good, the formatting was a little difficult at first (no quotations or line breaks for exchanges of dialog) but you get used to it fairly quickly. Everyone else has their lists right? How else are you planning on spending your long, lackadaisical summers? You know, besides work, enjoying the sun and eating and breathing and whatnot. You should definitely have a back up plan. Go to Amazon now and poke around. They actually can get you pretty good suggestions. I also recommend Denise Duhamel’s Star Spangled Banner, an accessible, and very entertaining/good book of poetry. You won’t regret it.
