  Hummingbird by Sophia Elaine Hansen

  Microwave Noveau by Liam Bates @wordswithpurple

  Shot Glass Confessional by Cyrus Parker

  ---

  These are 3 short poetry collections. All different.

  Sophia Elaine Hanson is the bestselling author of The Vinyl Trilogy and Hummingbird was her 1st poetry collection. She has written another 2. It’s a good book.

  I cannot remember a great deal of Microwave Noveau, other than I liked the tone of the writing and the topics that were written about. Liam Bates has a pamphlet coming out from Broken Sleep books on the 17^th of June, titled Working Animals

  I’m trying to not buy more books, I’ll probably make an exception for this one.

  Shot Glass Confessional is good. It’s short, the poems are short. It isn’t my favourite by Cyrus Parker. I loved Masquerade.

  The majority of these publishers do not have a reading fee, which is cool but if you can buy one of their books, it helps. Independent publishers do not get the backing that larger one’s do and book sales are important for them to move forward.

   

  I think poetry and books make the world go round, so I don’t need much prompting in purchasing new reading material.
