The big news (for us) this past week was The Rumpus Poetry Book Club. It’s much the same as our non-poetry book club, but a little cheaper–$20 in the US, $33 international. And we’re going to cover a fairly wide range of poetry given that we have four different poets choosing the books we read. Camille Dungy has already chosen Shane Book’s debut, Ceiling of Sticks, for our debut, and we’ll announce more books as we decide on them. What are you waiting for?
