If I don't start writing little reviews of poetry books, chapbooks and e-books I love, I might go crazy. I have seen so much good work in the past couple of months that I'd like to make a small dent in the review world. I do not believe I am entirely qualified to properly review fiction or succinctly make brilliant points about fiction work, but my MFA studies, career and personal interests involve poetry so poetry it is. Poetry needs a little love.
I'm also interested in interviewing poets (Patasola Press is starting an interviews series for its new blog — coming soon) and generally promoting others' work. There is just too much out there to not highlight it! Please send me your chapbook/book/e-book (an electronic version is fine) to lisamarie.basile[at]gmail.com for consideration.
