I just started When I Ran Away by Ilona Bannister and am completely sucked in.

I had to look this one up. I find it fascinating how long the literature of seminal moments like 9/11 takes to percolate and bubble up to the surface.

I'm still reading Blonde by Joyce Carol Oats. It's detailed and I'm taking my time, at least another week. I usually lose interest after a week. But this really interesting. I checked out The Best Poems of Jane Kenyon - it was published in 2020 and may have more an arc over her career. I liked The Stroller.

Yes, I just read The Stroller! And agree--The Best Poems would be another great choice for an overview.
