[April is National Poetry Month, and
to celebrate I’ll highlight a handful of poets, past and present, we should all
be reading. Including some suggestions from fellow AmericanPoetryStudiers—add
yours for a celebratory, crowd-sourced weekend poetry post, please!]
For this final
post in the series (before that weekend post, so get your nominations in!), I
wanted to hand over the blog-reins to one of our most talented young poets,
Robin Jewel Smith. Robin is a PhD candidate in English at the University of North
Dakota, and her first chapbook, Confessions
of a Love Addict, will be coming out this month from Dancing Girl Press. Here are the
poets and works Robin shared (in no particular order):
Donika Kelly, Bestiary
Douglas Kearney, Patter
Sally Wen Mao, Oculus
Paul Tran, “The
Cave”
Ross Gay, Catalog
of Unabashed Gratitude
Sadie Dupuis, Mouthguard
Tishani Doshi, Girls
are Coming Out of the Woods
Marwa Helal, Invasive Species
Crowd-sourced
post this weekend,
Ben
PS. So one more
time: what do you think? Other poets you’d highlight?
