A few I’ve been dipping into lately:
Collected Poems by R.S. Thomas
Sinners Welcome by Mary Karr
Hunger Moon by Marge Piercy
Poetry is a “dipping-into” thing for me. I can’t read it straight through, or at least I could, but my enjoyment and appreciation would nosedive. I’ve mentioned in another context that I probably prefer poetry in paper format because it displays properly; another reason is that it’s really more accessible to flipping through and settling down on a single poem (or two!) which is sufficient until the next time.
