Selves

by Philip Booth

Book Overview

Booth's eighth poetry collection, with its evocations of compassion, tenderness and invading darkness, implies that redemption will come only from having loved well and wisely.

Great American Poetry at its Best

Philip Booth is today's Robert Frost. Exploring not only the New England landscape but also his lifetime of experience living there, Booth proves that classic American poetry still exists. A scholar and professor, Booth is a too-often-overlooked poet who offers us much in his work and his study. All of his volumes are must-haves in my opinion, but "Selves" gives us a nice collection of some of his best. This book, along with "Trying to Say It," should be on the shelf of any poet or lover of poetry.
