In Issue #2's podcast (released in November 2015), our guest Nia Davies recommended two books: a novel from Chris Kraus that refuses to be pinned down by genre, and a poetry chapbook from Hoa Nguyen that challenges the authority of language. Meanwhile, Richard, Adam and I all spoke about poets and collections that, in their own very unique ways, meditate on the complexities of what it is to be human.

Books Recommended

Tells of the Crackling by Hoa Nguyen

I Love Dick by Chris Kraus

The October Palace by Jane Hirshfield

Sole by D.E. Oprava

Here and the Water by Sarah Coles

To hear what we said about these books in the 'What We're Reading' segment of the Issue #2 podcast, go here: crunchpoetry.com/issue-2.html

Have you read any of these books already? If so, what did you think? And are there any other similar poets/books that you would recommend? As always, we'd love to hear from you!
