March was a good month for poetry, thanks to an event with the Grand River Poetry Collective. I picked up eight (!) books, and then a couple of weeks later David Cope gifted me with copies of the last two issues of Big Scream, the literary journal he edited for decades.
And I even had time to read some of them.
