reading list for 2012

so far:

1) The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Poetry edited by J.D. Mc Clatchy

2) Taking Action for Animals: Newsletter, Issue 3 (Why is cheese so addictive?)

3) Thinking Musically: Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture by Bonnie C. Wade

4) American Society: How It Really Works by Erik Olin Wright and Joel Rogers

What Ive learned from each:

1) I am a good enough poet, and lots of contemporary poetry is dark and vague.

2) Dairy, specifically Cheese, is the opiate of the masses, actually effecting us like morphine.

3) thinking vertically vs horizontally..... still reading

4) ideas around basic income, and the media's dangerous distortion of women...
