Poetry Roundups 6 and 7

It’s been a while since I updated, so here are two roundups together and the reading dates they cover:

Poetry Roundup #6: July – Dec 21 
Poetry Roundup #7: Jan – Jun 22

#8, which covers Jul – Dec 22, will be out in Jan 23 (I promise).

It’s been an age since I’ve read some of these, so I’m not going to go into the ins and out of them and just say they’re all excellent and worth your time, in particular the two roundup picks: Love’s Loose Ends by David Tait and Panic Response by John McCullough.
