Haring, Keith. Journals. 1996. New York: Penguin Books, 2010.
I recently decided that I should start reading other writers’ journals because somehow I’ve hardly read any. Haring’s name randomly came up a few times in various contexts over the past week, so I decided that I would read his journal first.
Huddleston, Edward Cody, ed. Hauling the Tide: Haiku Society of America Members’ Anthology 2024. N.p.: Haiku Society of America, 2024.
This year’s version of the HSA’s annual anthology came in the mail a few days ago.
Silliman, Ron. The Age of Huts (compleat). Berkeley: University of California Press, 2007.
I have been looking for Silliman’s book The Chinese Notebook (which is included in this compendium edition) in bookshops since I first read part of it in an anthology in 2005. I figured at some point I would come across a used copy somewhere, but in nearly two decades it hasn’t happened, so I decided to finally go ahead and order the book online. I found out that it is part of a larger sequence, so I bought the “compleat” volume–a used copy, which is what felt right–instead. I must say that even though I value L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry (obviously I would not have bought this book if I didn’t), I have always loved that the last name of one if its founders looks like the words “silly” and “man” put together.
