Selected Poems   Galway Kinnell
Kinnell died this week, so I wanted to read some more of his poems. This is a very good early selection. “The Avenue Bearing the Initial of Christ into the New World” is an excellent example of his skill. I really enjoyed these poems. Much better than I remembered.

The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World Steven Johnson
Another very informative and interesting book by Johnson. The title is an accurate description. As usual, learned a lot about Victorian London, the history of the specific instance, and the development of science. Really enjoyed it, very profitable.
