the two books i got at awp that i want you to have and love as well are:

brian foley's the constitution, out from horse less:

i remain unconvinced

these woods
are reversible

as a need is
no real evidence
of absence

and kevin prufer's in a beautiful country, out from four way:

these days, the faucets won't stop dripping,
and i stand in the kitchen dreaming of nurses

who roam the white halls like quiet animals--
and you, in your bed, unable to call them.

another thing is available that you might want to have:

 you can order it here.

one other thing:
