    After reading Brian Turner's gorgeous and painful new book of poetry Phantom Noise, I sat down and wrote the first book review I've ever attempted. Connotation Press will be publishing it in the December issue! Tra-la! (I use exclamation points so seldom, they feel oddly decadent.) This is my third piece accepted by Connotation Press--I think I'm starting to fall in love with them.

    Thanks Linda. The review was something I was driven to write. My husband kept telling me not to waste hours on something that would produce few monetary results, but it wasn't about that for me. It was a shout out to a poet who has genuine legs and one who has managed to entrance me with his first two books in a way I had reserved for Bishop, Lowell, and Eliot, (he's not nearly there yet, but it's possible). I'm hoping his next book branches out into a larger world than the one filled with pain he currently inhabits and that I can watch him grow into a mature poet who only gets better and better as he ages--like a fine Cabernet.
