Paisley Rekdal’s Animal Eye<\/a><\/em> (University of Pittsburgh Press)–I just\u00a0read\u00a0a galley copy last week and loved it! I loved the way the poems moved–they never settled for the simple epiphany, but kept working and working, sometimes doubling back and reinventing themselves.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
D.A. Powell’s Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(Graywolf Press)–I’m a native Californian, and I love the way that Powell maps the landscape of Northern California, looking closely at its history of immigration, exploitation, personal histories, etc.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Cathy Park Hong’s Engine Empire<\/em><\/a> (W.W. Norton)–I haven’t\u00a0read\u00a0the book yet, but ALL my friends have recommended it to me.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bonus: Natalie Diaz’s When My Brother Was an Aztec<\/a><\/em> (Copper Canyon Press)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
