This will be thoroughly negligent and absolutely incomplete. Some of these are new; some are from my ever-growing wish I could get to every book I like in a sort of Faustian manner list. In no particular order, rhyme, reason, or otherwise here are just ten:
Cleopatra: A Life- Stacy Schiff
The Matter of Capital: Poetry and Crisis in the American Century - Chris Nealon
Poeta en San Francisco - Barbara Jane Reyes
Herso: An Heirship in Waves - Susana Gardner
The Black Automaton - Douglas Kearney
Stealth- Samuel Ace and Maureen Seaton
Event Factory- Renee Gladman
The Cows - Lydia Davis
Time of Sky & Castles in the Air- Ayane Kawata (trans. Sawako Nakayasu)
Illuminations- Arthur Rimbaud (trans. John Ashbery)
