I hope you enjoy Spinning Silver -- I really liked it (despite some pretty glaring flaws...)

poetry (especially formal)

ooh, same! I'm not reading much of it, but I always enjoy talking about it

I back-read a couple of pages in your DW and it's really interesting to see the mix of books you're reading -- a lot of titles that are either new to me or that I'm only loosely aware of, and the way you write about books is very compatible with the kind of book write-ups I enjoy, so, subscribed!

Thank you very much! Marilyn Hacker does some very neat things with English-language ghazals, which is a form I have recently been enjoying.

Also I just saw the "Small Angry Planet" icon you used upthread, hahaha, amazing :D

Neat, re: English language ghazals -- I should take a look at her work! (Trying to write a ghazal gave me a lot of appreciation for the form and just how challenging it is to do well!)
