I love this. It is so the way kids talk. Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteThis is still my favorite collection of poetry. Simple, accessible imagery from world-class poets. The eponymous poem is pretty amazing, as is the William Carlos Williams entry. Wish I had this edition, though (mine is just a trade paperback).
ReplyDeleteAndrew, email me and I'll send it to you:

And I agree with you, it's a great anthology.
This is exactly what I like about you, Michael! Pay it forward.
ReplyDeleteI suppose this kind of communication has now been replaced by texting. I just hope real books will never replaced by Kindles. There's something so special about real books.
ReplyDeletei got this book as a scholastic paperback in high school - and it is still one of my favourite anthologies (even after most of a PhD in english).
