A Big Bag of Caramels

Saddened by the losses? Try this swell anthology. It will make the room glow back at you with convivial company and music. I think a lot, it gets me through, and this is perfect for the bathroom, the bedroom, the windowseat overlooking the construction site. You come across as a horse in touch with intoxicants. Listen: A lot of energy, nerve, tenderness and fashion comes crammed between these pages, and even though it doesn't announce itself as such, what we have here, Doctor, is a case of practically every younger poet you really ought to know about. Brace yourself for a big bag of caramels.

Terrific anthology boasting most of the most pleasant younger poets publishing nowadays. With an ultracool music CD in the bargain, it's chance-free really. You deserve this, dearheart.
