2023 Poetry

It's June! And here in Connecticut, it's almost summer. I always look forward to the Sealey Challenge in August, which is an endeavor to read a collection of poetry a day. Plus, after next week, I'll have more time in general for hunting down books and reading. Sometimes it can seem hard to track down lists of what's been published and what's on the horizon. Maybe you're searching for new titles, too. Here are some poetry-book resources to check out:

Spring 2023 poetry books, Publishers Weekly 

Fall 2023 poetry books, Publishers Weekly

Best Poetry 2023, Book Riot (from March)

Thanks for these links. Just what I needed, to find new poetry books to read this summer!

[Laura Purdie Salas]

Thanks for the resources, Susan!

[Susan T.]

Jama and Laura, de nada! I look forward to catching up with some of these.

[Heidi]

This is a fantastic resources, Susan--thank you so much for taking the trouble to gather all these! Bookmarking for sure. Let us know what you find that you love!

[Linda Baie]

Yes, I receive most of these lists, Susan, but now have bookmarked a few more from you! Thanks, amazing that there are so many to love! Thank you!

[Susan T.]

Hi, Heidi and Linda. Thank you for dropping by! You're welcome for the lists. I'm always on the lookout for new stuff, so I enjoyed compiling this post.

Gosh Susan, I can barely keep up with monthly and annual reading goals, let alone a daily collection! But thanks for sharing all these resources! It gives me plenty to choose from in my more "sloth-approach" to poetry reading!

[Susan T.]

The daily thing is only for a month (August)! You could totally do it is my guess, though it does take some planning...and fortitude. And reading strategically, alternating shorter & longer. (And leaving the New and Selecteds until another time!)

[Karen Edmisten]

Thanks for all the leads, Susan!

[Susan T.]

You are so welcome, Karen. I’ll try to update this from time to time, too.
