So–this arrived last night. I left it on the kitchen table, and I just started reading it–you know, leafing through it the way one does–and I got sucked in. I had to force myself to put it down because I have work to do. It is a powerful, lyrical mixture of poetry and prose, tragic accounts of everyday life–stories from her family history. Well, at least that’s what I’ve read so far. I’ll return for more in a bit.
OK, back to work now!
Luanne Castle is an award-winning poet. You can read more about her here.
Thanks, Merril! I was hoping you would like it!
I do, Luanne! Then after I wrote this, I got stuck in editorial hell again. . .
Oh no! I’m so sorry . . . .
Thanks!

If you read Merril’s blog you know that she’s a historian and a poet. Here’s Merril’s first reaction to KIN TYPES. (Thanks, Merril!)
You are quite welcome, Luanne. I never write reviews because I’m basically lazy, so you should feel honored. 😉
Trust me, I do!!!! Thank you so much!

Luanne Castle’s “Kin Types” chapbook will be on my fall pile of books! I loved her “Doll God” and am so honored she wrote inside it. 💕
I like Kin Types even more than Doll God. You are in for a treat!
That’s great to have your reassurance on the latest Luanne’s book!
