"Our tiny lights don't at all resemble stars"*

Thanks to Sarah's invitation, I've joined the Goodreads 2010 Poetry Readers Challenge, the aim of which is to read and review 20 poetry books this year. Amy Beeder is at the top on my list. I read a wonderful poem of hers in the December issue of Poetry Magazine, and on their website, I discovered her poem "Captain Haddock vs. the PTA." Captain Haddock?! I'm sold. I always suspected that the captain's clever invective could be put to further use.

Here's my list so far:

1. Burn the field - Amy Beeder
2. Micrographia - Emily Watson
3. Ripple effect - Elaine Equi
4. A little white shadow - Mary Ruefle
5. Disloyal yo-yo - Bruce Cohen


*Amy Beeder, Because our waiters are hopeless romantics
