Oh, forgot to mention the monstrous pile of poetry books (courtesy of Carnegie Library's awesome poetry collection) I'm reading. Jane Hirshfield's The Lives of the Heart, Ted Hughes' Birthday Poems, Natasha Trewethey's Domestic Work, Naomi Shihab Nye's Red Suitcase (I'm really impressed with her work), and a handful of books from poets I've never heard of before. Any suggestions out there for other great collections of poetry I definitely should read? I'm interested solely in contemporary (or nearly contemporary) poets at the moment.

The ramblings of a 31-year old writer with two mischievious cats, one neurotic dog, a gregarious husband, an ongoing desire for Indian food and classic movies, and way too many idiosyncrasies for her own good.
