I dunno why I am listing my poetry books at Ex Poetical. I have a practical reason to have such a list: I keep misplacing books. George Butterick managed to create a list of Olson's reading, which is informative and interesting. I've seen the which of other writers. I dont think my list is so revelatory that way, especially as it is incomplete. books I was given, books bought sight unseen, etc, the list is not so dull as to reveal my taste exactly. up till mid-late 90s I bought and supported pretty well. but money ran low and I slid into other book directions so that I barely bought po books. I'm much more selective now. I still have a ton yet to list
