Some Recently Published Books of Poetry You Might Want to Read
December 22, 2007 by John Hewitt
For my 30 Poems in 30 Days Project, I referenced quite a few poets. This is the source list I made up initially for the books I planned to promote during the project. It isn’t an exact match for the project because I went off on a few tangents as the 30 days moved along, but it is a good list of recently written books of poetry that you might want to check out.
