Mini-Review
I wrote a little diddy about Rae Armantrout’s book NEXT LIFE.
Back at school today but I have two good poems to post later for you. I hope you re-visit tonight. Or tomorrow. The next day? Next life?

September 5th, 2007 at 2:03 pm eAmy’s? Yes, I did.
September 5th, 2007 at 2:13 pm eApologies for the confusion.
I enjoy all the reviews, the commentaries,
and the poetic education here.
I sort of attend this blog as a class of sorts,
and sometimes follow the tips to chapbooks,
so I tend to assume great analysis up front.
September 6th, 2007 at 12:02 pm eFor those standing at the dawn of the lids on RA (such as me),
some backdrop to Amy’s review (Armantrout on early Armantrout):
