Default My review of Amit Majmudar's Dothead

I sometimes write reviews to post on Amazon. Here is one I posted today:

Ralph, I am glad to hear the review made you want to read the book. That is the goal of any positive review. I tend to post reviews on Amazon because readers there are usually already interested in poetry or in the book in question, and reviewers can reach more readers there than by publishing in the average literary journal.

Susan is a good role model--formal poets have generally not been energetic in supporting like-minded poets in social media.

Thank you for the link, Susan. I do think your review will make people want to read the book, and that seems worth doing.

Cheers,
John
