Back in August of last year, the Near Perfect Books of Poetry hit 100. 8 months later, another milestone has been achieved: 200 near perfect books of poetry.
The list has gradually grown, reader by reader, over that time. During the past 8 months, I've offered free copies of the current two issues to new readers (and a two-issue extension to subscribers) for accepted suggestions for the list. And, so, 8 months later, here we are. You may find the list at the Lilliput Review homepage at:
And the list will continue. The two-free issue offer still stands. Details may be found at the above link. My most sincere thanks to all who have made suggestions and I'll look forward to more in the coming weeks and months.

Sakaki: I'm not interested in Santoka.
Brandi: Why?
Sakaki: Sentimental, just sentimental, just himself, no society, no universe. He has no compassion for other animals, other beings. --See?... Just sentimental. But we need a sentimental poet too (laughs) We need many poets! All kinds of poets!

Wow, it's like a geometric progression or something.
