For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
2009 was a good poetry reading year. Except for Carl Sandburg, the others were new to me poets and I truly loved to read the varied shades of it. I like to explore poetry in any form. Only in poetry you can say a lot in fewer words. It contains the world!
I read the following poetry books in 2009:
A Climb Through Altered Landscapes by Ian Parks
Mainline to the heart and other poems by Clive Matson
Magdalene and the Mermaids by Elizabeth Kate Switaj
A House of Bottles by Robin Merrill
Selected Poems of Carl Sandburg
Judah's Lion by Anne Caston
I plan to read the following in 2010
1) Selected Poems by Robert Lowell (1917-1977)
2) Renascence and Other Poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
3) Thirst: poems By Mary Oliver
4) Becoming The Villainess by Jeannine Hall Gaily
5) At the Threshold of Alchemy by John Amen
6 Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man by Harry E. Gilleland, Jr.
7) Slamming Open The Door by Kathleen Sheeder Bonanno

I'm sure you'll have those read in no time.
Interesting choices. Enjoy your reading!
Great selection this year and last year! I really loved Gailey's book and Mary Oliver has always been a favorite of mine.
Happy reading
