New Poetry I'm reading

I enjoyed Carl Phillip's new book as I discuss here on the KR.
Right now, I'm wending my way through Emily Wilson's Micrographia. Her syntax rivals Hopkins at times (but without the rhyme), and the imagery is like medieval miniature, a marvel of density, precision and patience. Zach Savich's recent book is on my table next, beside Vanishing-Line and Aquarium, two books by Jeffrey Yang. Looking forward to picking through each of these carefully.
