Whee! Thanks, Sylvia. I'm going to go add all these to my TBR list on Goodreads. I missed out on some poetry titles in 2013, and I can't let that happen again:>)

Liz Steinglass said...

Thank you! There's so much to look forward to this year. I will add these to my reading list also.

Joy said...

Thanks for your help Sylvia in keeping us current.

Renee LaTulippe said...

I love that you do these lists - it's so hard to keep up on everything. Thank you!

jama said...

I always look forward to this list. Thanks, Sylvia!

Helen Frost said...

Thanks so much, Sylvia--you are awesome, keeping us all informed like this. A note on Room 214: A Year in Poems--this is the 10th anniversary paperback edition of Spinning Through the Universe, so not exactly a new 2014 book.
So much to look forward to!

Linda B said...

Thank you for the list-will be helpful to look for the books!

Linda said...

Wow! It's going to be a great year of reading! I just got THE POEM THAT WILL NOT END in the mail today. I hope to find some time this weekend to enjoy it!

Sylvia Vardell said...

Thanks, everyone, for stopping by. Glad you find my list helpful.

And thanks, Helen, for that correction (which I have noted in the list). I wondered if it was the same book (which I loved in its previous incarnation), so I'm glad to see it's getting another iteration! Best of luck!
Sylvia

Sylvia, thank you for this preview every year.

Keri said...

I love the diversity in this list! The beekeeper in me is very excited about Joyce Sidman's new title. And of course we're all cheering for Laura's new book!

Rosi said...

Thanks for this list. I will be on the lookout for these books.

Doraine said...

Wow, what a great list. Thanks!

Irene Latham said...

Thank you, Sylvia -- I always love this list! You can add my book: DEAR WANDERING WILDEBEEST: AND OTHER POEMS FROM THE WATER HOLE coming from Millbrook Press/Lerner August 1!

Sylvia Vardell said...

Thanks, Irene, it's on the list-- and I look forward to reading it this summer! Thanks also, Margarita, for the "heads up" on Mariko Nagai's new book too. She's a new name for me and I look forward to reading DUST OF EDEN, too.

Michelle Heidenrich Barnes said...

Catching up on my PF reading after a crazy two weeks-- sure glad I didn't miss out on this gem! Thanks for letting us know about all of these wonderful books to look out for!

Janie said...

Woohoo! I wrote a grant to buy poetry books. Thank you for the list, so I can start shopping!
