During the month of June, No Tells is featuring "Recommended Summer Reading" selections by No Tell contributors.
Jessy Randall's recommendations:
Scary, No Scary by Zachary Schomburg (Black Ocean Press)
I came to this book after Verse Daily printed "Love is When a Boat is Built From All the Eyelashes in the Ocean." Maybe you will too.
Are You There, God? It's Me, Whitney Houston by Brad Liening (Hell Yes Press)
A zine-like chapbook of poems with a throwaway elegance and humor that strikes me as just right for summer reading. I got this book as a bonus gift when I ordered something else from Hell Yes Press, and ended up liking it more than the thing I originally ordered.
