Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Diary of a Teenage Girl An Account in Words & Pictures
by
Phoebe Gloeckner

, August 06, 2012
This is one of those books you'll either get or you'll want to forget. Phoebe is one of my favorite authors ever because she's so totally honest.I read this book when I was searching for something different & something real. This story is so real, almost too real, and If you're brave enough to ingest Phoebe's story, you won't be able to put it down. She's also an amazing renderer, so if you like this, just buy all her books & then wait impatiently for what she's doing next, like me.

The Descent of Alette
by
Alice Notley
HillaryS
, August 06, 2012
Caution: you must read the author's note about the text, or you will become intimidated and/or distracted. That being said, once you accept what Notely is doing with form, this poem becomes ridonklous! It's like The Odyssey & Dante's Inferno rode the 7 into a feminist manifesto. But it's not overtly feminist, if that's not your thing. Notley's imagery will stay with you for a while (trust me), & if you choose to delve further, you'll notice Notley's an amazing poet.

Shadow of Sirius
by
W S Merwin

, August 06, 2012
Merwin is the kind of poet non poetry reading people want to read. He's topically accessible, but then also a genius in layering symbolism & imagery. I had to read this book for a class, but I'm so glad I was introduced to his writing, and I will be exploring more.
