now reading...
sonia sanchez once said, courtenay, you need to read more poetry.
i'm currently reading some of caribbean poets, kamau brathwaite's the arrivants and aime cesaire's collected poems. depending on how ambitious i feel, i might pull out derek walcott's omeros. but i have to be feeling really ambitious, omeros is a tome and a half. and i'd like to get my hands a book of martin carter....so finding one of those might be a good project.
