Great book for any child of the '80s.

A little Independence Day color to celebrate this fabulous novel about America's first great female poet, Emily Dickinson.

One of my favorite authors is Nuala Ni Chonchuir, whose first US novel, Miss Emily, was published under the named Nuala O'Connor. She's a brilliant short story writer (and the queen of flash fiction), and her first three novels deserved a wide readership.

Great book. Contains one of the best depictions of the Northern Ireland conflict (aka "The Troubles") I've everc read!

Found an eye-catching display of Everyman Pocket Poets in Books & Books in Miami. The spine of Doggerel is particularly cool!

Excellent novella. Alternate history: WW3 in Scotland with flying saucers. I'm reading it as part of MacLeod's collection "Giant Lizards from Another Star" (great title!), but it's also been published in a cool standalone edition by PM Press.

Had to order Terry Pratchett's Shepherd's Crown from the UK, as the cover was so much better. Fitting to have a cuppa from an elephant teapot while reading about Discworld.

I'm not a huge poetry reader, but enjoy it, and often live with a poetry book over months, dipping in often and slowly discovering secrets. GEIS is about taboos, and crossing invisible lines, and determining where those lines might lie. It's a fascinating collection, with moments of great beauty.

Loving the new cover of the deluxe Penguin Classics Portrait of an Artist. Foreword by Knausgaard, which seems quite apt.

Quite simply the funniest book ever! Do not visit Ireland without reading this first.
