A lot, really. First of all, we’re about to chat with Aase Berg and Johannes Gorannson about Berg’s book Transfer Fat It’s the first time we’ve done a translation, and we’re very excited to be able to talk with both the poet and the translator. Look for the transcript later this month.
February’s book is D. A. Powell’s Useless Landscape. Those are in the mail and we’ll start talking about them soon. Look for my essay on why I chose this book later this week. March’s book will be Linda Hogan’s Indios, and Camille Dungy will be leading that discussion.
Finally, this really isn’t book club news, but what the hell. The Rumpus is holding a fundraiser at the AWP convention, so if you’re going to be in Chicago on March 1, come by 826 Chicago. Readers include Nick Flynn, Cheryl Strayed, Peter Orner, Sommer Browning, Brian Spears and Stephen Elliott.

I must be getting dense in my old (retired) age. How do I sign up for poetry book club? Go ahead and do it as you have address and payment details on file from my Letters int the Mail subscription. Erik Blomstedt
You should be able to do it here: https://therumpus.net/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52 If you can’t make that work, send an email to poetry@therumpus.net and we’ll figure it out.
