“Walking Through Clear Water” and “Interstellar Theme Park” would definitely make my list too. I haven’t had the chance to read any of your other choices, yet. Though it was published in 2019, I finally read “Punk Rock Is Cool for the End of the World: Poems and Notebooks of Ed Smith” this year and really loved it. Have you read it? It’s edited by David Trinidad with contributions from one Jack Skelley and Amy Gerstler whose stunning, elegiac poem, “Elegy with Peonies” is just so beautiful I keep going back to it and reading it over and over.

Knowing what others read and listen to is what interest me about people. I have no interest in gossip.

Thank you

Good pics. I read the Ashbury, the Trinidad, the Mueller, and BOTH of the LaCavas (especially loved the neo-Gothic approach of I Fear My Pain Interests You -- spooky house, hidden rooms, mysterymale character). But who is this Skelley?

Such a superfine lineup, I really must check out that Late Fragments book of Baudelaire.
