I have a new poet (new to me at least) who has captured my imagination - Louise Gluck. On recommendation from T.R. I ordered "Averno" from Amazon the other day and it arrived tonight - I spent most of the last hour reading the first half of the collection, and then I had to force myself to set it aside so I didn't finish reading it all in one night. So now I am splitting my reading time between "Averno"...
And "Among Thieves: A Tale of the Kin" by Douglas Hulick.
That is the way reading works - when it rains, it pours.
I am enjoying both books immensely, even though it meant that I set aside Orson Scott Card's "Ruins" because if it was going somewhere, it was going too slow. I may pick it up again later and give it another try - it's pretty rare when Card disappoints, but, alas, it does happen.
