A number of the poets included in my anthology Poems of Devotion (Wipf & Stock, 2012) have superb new books out. Here’s a list of the ones I know of and have read:
- Bruce Beasley: Theophobia (BOA Editions) (Look for my review forthcoming in Contemporary Poetry Review)
- Steven Brown: To the Wheatlight of June (photographs by Ben Nixon, poems by Steven Brown) (21st Editions)
- Morri Creech: The Sleep of Reason (Waywiser Press)
- Jennifer Grotz (translator): Psalms of All My Days by Patrice de la Tour du Pin (Carnegie Mellon Press) (See one of the psalms and my brief commentary on de la Tour du Pin here.)
- Marjorie Maddox: Local News from Someplace Else (Wipf & Stock)
- Maurice Manning: The Gone and the Going Away (Harcourt)
- Eric Pankey: Trace (Milkweed Editions) (See my commentary here.)
I highly recommend each of these.
