Book News and Reviews
Summer’s the perfect time for pleasure reading. We have a new crop of book reviews for you! Many of you might be planning your booklist for the Sealey Challenge, developed by poet Nicole Sealey (a poetry book a day for the month of August; chapbooks count!). On my list so far are Marie Howe’s collection, Catherine Barnett’s “Solutions for the Problem of Bodies in Space,” and books by our MER book reviewers and editors, including Jennifer Martelli’s timely new chapbook, “Dear Justice.” If you have recommendations or books you’re looking forward to getting into, you can note them in the comments below.
And now, our latest book reviews (click the links to read the full review):
