A number of very fine poetry books have recently come the Camel's way. His new favorites are:
The Dogs of Paris by Steven Gulvezan
Favorite line: Trying to be someone I was hit by a train.
A beautifully produced volume from March Street Press: http://www.marchstreetpress.com/cat/gulvezan-dogs.html
The Book of Women by Dorianne Laux
Favorite line: all we know is this ordinary day.
Also a beuatifully-produced volume, this one's from Red Dragonfly Press: http://www.reddragonflypress.org/music/4867
Portrait of A Bad Sailor Girl by Melanie Browne
Favorite line: It's always/day of dead/in my head.
Hold on tight, the story goes, because this collection takes you on a magical Sea Cruise from Mojitos, 24 hour speed binges, and baking erotic chocolate chip cookies.
