Orange Alert: essays on poetry, art, and the architecture of silence by Kazim Ali [2010, University of Michigan Press]
The Invisible Waterhole by Joe Kidd [2020, JKSB Media]
The Prettiest Girl at the Dance by John Dorsey [2020, Blue Horse Press]
The Far Mosque by Kazim Ali [2005, Alice James Books]
Wooroloo by Frieda Hughes [1998, Harper Flamingo]
The first of these I've finished reading is John Dorsey's. I left this brief review of it on Goodreads:
Victor
Clevenger, in his introduction to this wonderful new collection of
poetic vignettes, calls it "quite possibly [John Dorsey's] greatest work
to date." I have to agree. That's saying a lot when you consider we've
read a stack of Dorsey books and loved his work for years. Boy or girl,
I'm pretty sure you're gonna love taking a spin or two (or more) around
the ballroom floor with The Prettiest Girl at the Dance.
Happy to see that the book arrived intact. The Invisible Waterhole looks good in your collection. https://www.amazon.com/Joe-Kidd/e/B089QYDXSM
