NPR update: Sachiko Murakami, Leigh Kotsilidis and more

15Jan12

Northern Poetry Review is updated with poems by Sachiko Murakami from her new collection Rebuild, and Ingrid Ruthig interviews Leigh Kotsilidis following the publication of her book Hypotheticals.

There are three new reviews: I’ve reviewed Open Air Bindery by David Hickey, Jacob McArthur Mooney reviews Richard Outram: Essays on his Work, and Jim Johnstone reviews A Page from the Wonders of Life on Earth, the new book by Stephanie Bolster.

I’m also very glad to welcome Jacob McArthur Mooney and Ingrid Ruthig to the site as editors. Along with Alessandro Porco and Lori A. May, that makes for a crack team of open-minded, articulate folks.

On a different note, may I suggest now is a good time to subscribe to Canadian Notes & Queries, both to start the year supporting a fiercely honest Canadian literary magazine, and because the next issue will have an essay of mine and three poems from my forthcoming book, The Least Important Man.
