Fonograf just released a new bilingual edition of the selected poems of Spanish poet Jaime Gil de Biedma. It's really, really good. Also extremely relevant given <gestures toward everything>. Here's an excerpt.

Laura Paul's Film Elegy and Kelly Krumrie's No Measure were two of the coolest books I read last year. If you're in Denver, come hear them read! With me! I will also be a guy who is there.

Kelly Krumrie: No Measure

List of random things I liked this year in no particular order part 5: No Measure by Kelly Krumrie
