Spring Reading

Dearest Bigfan Blog Readers,
Please visit www.Leafpress.ca to read a new poem by yours truly. It's being featured as the "Monday Poem" for this week (4/25/05) and will be in their "Monday's Archive" after that.
I am currently reading School of Art by Mark Doty. Before that I enjoyed Wedding Day by Dana Levin, who is a local to Santa Fe. I am waiting with great anticipation for the release of the paperback of the new Czeslaw Milosz, Second Space, translated by Robert Haas and due out in Sept. I'm also waiting for James Tate's newest to come to paperback (so I can maybe afford it) Return to the City of White Donkeys--what a great title!
A week or so ago, I got to see Campbell McGrath read at the Lannan reading series. His newest book is called Pax Atomica. His stuff is quite witty and heavily laden with popular culture references. He's doing a self & society type thing that I think he believes will help bring the masses back to poetry.
Anyway, on a less evolved reading level, I am also currently enjoying the last in the Philip Pulman series, His Dark Materials: The Amber Spyglass. I really don't think these books were written for children.
Well, I'm off to frolic in a rainy Sunday afternoon!
