Gabrielle Calvocoressi's book The Last Time I Saw Amelia Earhart is one of my favorite poetry books ever & one of the first I ever purchased for myself -- this copy from a used bookstore back in 2012, filled with a previous reader's generous notes. Opened it once again today.
When I got it, I didn't know it had someone else's notes in it -- I just knew I loved the book. I was new to poetry & had borrowed a copy from someone. I was just happy when a saw a chance to buy a copy of my own
All that said -- @rocketfantastic thank you so much for all of your work, but specifically this book. I wouldn't have known I could be a poet without finding this book when I did. It is a book that changed the course of my life, creatively and otherwise.
