The Rumpus Poetry Book Club

Stephen Elliot's online literary rumpus room, The Rumpus, has franchised out their Book Club. Now, in addition to their "One Rumpus, One Book" club, there is the Rumpus Poetry Book Club:

How it works: Exactly the same as our regular book club, but a little cheaper because most of the books are expected to be paperbacks, though a lot of them will probably be hardcover as well. So it’s $20 a month for domestic or $33 for international.

Every month a forthcoming poetry book will be chosen by a member of our poetry advisory board: Brian Spears, Camille Dungy, Gabrielle Calvocoressi, and Matthew Zapruder. Some times we’ll let a special guest choose a book. The chooser of the book will write a post about why they picked this specific book and host that month’s online discussion with the book club and the author.

First selection? Shane Book’s Ceiling of Sticks.
