The St. Louis Book Fair provides its wondrous bounty again this year:
- “Arcadia” and “The Real Thing” by Tom Stoppard
- “Collected Poems, 1953-1993” by John Updike
- “The Wild Party” by Joseph Moncure March and illustrated by Art Spiegelman
- Best American Poetry; ’89, ’92, ’97, ’15, ’16 and ’18
- Best American Short Stories; ’86, ’87, 09, ’14, ’16, ’18 and ’20
- And like 25 “Magic Tree House” books for my kids
Since I’m slowly amassing most of the Best American Short Stories collection (between 1986 and 2020 I’m missing four volumes), I saw several Best American Poetry books and thought I’d start a new quest.
