  • ”You Romantics: The Tangled Lives of English Poetry’s Greatest Generation” by Daisy Hay. Excellent book. “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson. The third in the late Larsson’s best-selling thriller trilogy. “Lives Like Loaded Guns: Emily Dickinson and Her Family’s Feuds” by Lyndall Gordon (my fourth, and I hope my last, Emily Dickinson book in six months). “A Country for All: An Immigrant Manifesto,” a powerful argument on behalf of undocumented immigrants by Jorge Ramos, who is an iconic and very influential Mexican media figure.
