Dornaus, Margaret, ed. Behind the Mask: Haiku in the Time of COVID-19. Ozark, AR: Singing Moon Press, 2020.
I just heard about this timely anthology and ordered it right away. One of haiku’s strengths is that it is written quickly and thus can respond to current events almost immediately.
Khakpour, Porochista. Brown Album: Essays on Exile and Identity. New York: Vintage Books, 2020.
Khakpour did a virtual reading sponsored by Utica College last week. I was completely captivated by her work, so I ordered her new essay collection immediately.
My monthly subscription package from PM Press came today. One of the fun things about having this subscription is that I never know what might be in it! This month is a book about pirates, a book about teaching, and a book about music. All three look pretty fascinating, and I look forward to reading them when I get a chance.
