books 2015: New River Breakdown, by Terry L Kennedy

[supercheesegirl]

I really enjoyed this collection of thoughtful prose poems. Some particular favorites: "Breaking the Glass", "Music Like Dirt", "Midnight Salvage", and "The Surrendered".

(Reading a lot of poetry lately because my friends keep publishing books - a situation that is annoying, because I am not publishing books, but ultimately lovely, because there's some really strong work and also somehow I'm up with the times on the cutting-edge poetry coming out these days, for the first time in years!)

Oh, I don't ever expect to be REALLY current with poetry reading. Just, I am way, way more current now than I was with a newborn. Despite the fact that my annual books/year stats have dropped each year since she was born.
