Wisconsin week!

It’s Wisconsin week on the contemporary best seller list, with the Badger state poet Nick Lantz’s two 2010 collections—We Don’t Know We Don’t Know and The Lightning That Strikes the Neighbor’s House—at numbers 2 and 13 (respectively), and Notherners, by Madison’s Seth Abramson, debuting at number 25. Also debuting (though having nothing really to do with Wisconsin) is A Fast Life, the collected poems of Tim Dlugos, a poet who Barry Schwabsky of the Nation calls, “the great poet of the AIDS epidemic.” This collection, edited by David Trinidad, is at number 29.
