Divining for Starters, first taste

My second collection, Divining for Starters, is now out, and in the three days running up to the London launch, I thought I'd post links to online work from the book. First up is "The Occupation of Iraq," first published in Shearsman and later part of Delirious Hem's 2008 advent calendar, to which this link leads.

The book is available with free worldwide shipping from The Book Depository.

"Poetry for non-poets: Carrie Etter, The Tethers"--a new review

A zestful, frank, and appreciative review of The Tethers appeared Wednesday on the heretofore unknown to me blog, Semipop Life by Brad Luen of Berkeley, California. It's also the first one I've seen using obscenity. I tried to choose a favourite passage as a sample here, but I couldn't decide; you're just going to have to read it for yourself. It's great fun.
