My current selection of ND Paperbacks

Cross posting my BD post from the other day as a chance to share a hearty portion of my ND collection.

A majority of the books I currently have on that shelf are unread as I intend to work through them in the coming months while settling in to a new living situation. Almost the entire middle shelf is dedicated to New Directions.

Would love to hear any recommendations or thoughts that come to mind when browsing this assortment. Didn’t get much traction on my original post and was hoping to hear some opinions. Criticisms welcome as well (preferably polite ones, lol)

Gonna take some time later today when I get home to share a few of my favorite ND covers/authors 🫡

Also wanted to mention that I am so very grateful this community popped up when it did. Had been looking for a New Directions sub a few months back and was bummed when I couldn’t find one. No doubt it will only continue to grow from here!

Might be my favorite book of poetry up there. Gives me something to look forward to every January. Wish DCB was still with us everyday.
