Post a book you just finished and something like your thoughts, a review, summary, and whether you'd recommend it.

Jordan Harpers A Violent Masterpiece April 28th

Talk about poems from others or write some yourself. I’ll start with one of my favorites. >What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow Out of this stony rubbish?

can we get this going again???
