Adorable series, I recommend for a young teen trying to get interested in manga. “Bubble gum pop” is my coined-term for this series. A cute love triangle, big eyes, magic, vibrant colors and interesting characters -worth checking out!

Hiromu Mutou

Another old series from Tokyopop! This was an interesting one; a girl who is like a price in love with a boy who is more girlish, but they’re models cross dressing, jealousy, young love, triangles— an addicting read 👍

This new book by eminent scholar Michael Davidson gathers his essays concerning formally innovative poetry from modernists such as Mina Loy, George Oppen, and Wallace Stevens to current practitioners such as Cristina Rivera-Garza, Heriberto Yepez, Lisa Robertson, and Mark Nowak. The book considers poems that challenge traditional poetic forms and in doing so trouble normative boundaries of sexuality, subjectivity, gender, and citizenship. At the heart of each essay is a concern with the "politics of form," the ways that poetry has been enlisted in the constitution--and critique--of community. Davidson speculates on the importance of developing cultural poetics as an antidote to the personalist and expressivist treatment of postwar poetry. A comprehensive and versatile collection, On the Outskirts of Form places modern and contemporary poetics in a cultural context to reconsider the role of cultural studies and globalization in poetry.
