Executive Decision
Posted by 9to5poet under famous writers, poetry book club | Tags: rae armantrout |As I was writing my review of this month’s PBC selection (discussion on Deborah Keenan’s Willow Room, Green Door will be next Monday), I realized I never put up a poll for the May book. It was probably due to that whole domain switching business.
At any rate, I am going to make the executive decision to select Rae Armantrout’s Next Life as our May Poetry Book Club selection. During the last poll, Armantrout was the close second, so I feel it would be a good choice. We’ll have the discussion post on Monday, May 12. Enjoy!

Hi, I just ordered this book. Did I miss the discussion about Swimming the Witch? I read it, but have not yet replied to the book club questions.
I like your new layout. Welcome to WordPress.

Hi Christine,
Yep — Swimming the Witch was at the beginning of March. We’re doing Deborah Keenan’s Willow Room, Green Door — which you may enjoy. My review will go up at RWP on Thursday. Then, in May we’re doing Next Life. You’re ahead of me, because I haven’t ordered it yet.
I plan on doing that tonight.

I really like your new header! Very cool! What kindof leaves are those?
I have been reading the books each month, but never getting around to getting into the discussions! Bad poet! I’ll try very hard to join in with Willow Room!

Jessica, I’m really off track! I read Leilani Hall’s book, then accidentally skipped Deborah Keenan’s. I didn’t read your review on Swimming the Witch, because I was trying to finish it first. So, I’ll read your two reviews, order the Keenan book, but probably I won’t get it in time for the book club. We’ll see. I’m suffering from spring haze, a made-up illness that works to excuse my disorganization.
