Epstein, Andrew. Beautiful Enemies: Friendship and Postwar American Poetry. New York: Oxford University Press, 2006.
Epstein writes a blog about the New York School of poets, who I am obsessed with, and I’ve been wanting to buy his book for a while, but it is rare and thus fairly expensive. I used some holiday cash to acquire it.
Suderman, Dale. The Essential Dale Suderman Reader: Journals, Essays, Letters, Interpretations. Edited by Daniel Born. Eugene, OR: Resource Publications, 2024.
I recently read an interview of Daniel Born about this book, and decided to buy it as a result. Suderman lived his live on the Mennonite margins, much like I do.
