Customer Reviews

A good one

This is the kind of poetry book you read in bed before you go to sleep. You poke your husband with your elbow and say, "Listen to this one." He does.

A Wonderful Collection

Some of the most amazing poetry written in recent times is contained in this book. The works truly exemplify the American poetry scene.

A Keeper

This book of poetry will stay with you. You will take it off the shelf time after time to reread a poem that had a distinctive ring of truth and feeling of place about it. My favorite poem, "Dr. Invisible and Mr. Hide" by Charles Webb. Close second was "Mean and Stupid" by Christopher Howell.
