Congratulations on your upcoming release. I imagine it is not easy to get poetry published on actual paper with a binding. I’m looking forward to reading it.
Poetry is reading question: when you’re reading a new poetry book, do you read it front to back? Do you give yourself time between each poem, or just keep going? Do you write in the margins? I’m curious. Do you read physical books, or online? Do you think this has any effect on the experience?
I tend to read poetry books front to back, in print or digital, either one. Digital can be a little awkward with line breaks, but otoh you don’t need to log the book around…
I’ll sometimes read a poem a few times if I like it or it confuses me. I also sometimes look for criticism to give me clues…I’m working on a John ashbery’s book length Fliw Chart right now, which makes no sense but is quite funny…
“…as it tore out Shakespeare’s book throat with its book teeth.”
I find ‘book throat’ and ‘book teeth’ both delightful and savage. I’m still smiling over it!

Should read “poetry reading question.” Not sure how the “is” snuck in.
