number one on the list of this century's greatest poetry

although all anne's work has moved me to contemplation (and often tears), love poems has been the most gorgeously presented and emotionally draining collection of poetry any author i have before seen published. i challenge all readers to find a more beautiful reflection of inferior self-perception than in 'for my lover, returning to his wife.' anne's poetry is as once angelic and crude, inspiring a kinship between herself and the reader -- the true mark of a gifted writer.

IT WAS A INTERESTING TEAR JERKER BUT WAS EXCITING TO

I THOUGHT THAT SHE GOT INTO REALISM AND HEART WITH THIS BOOK AND REALLY WROTE ABOUT IT IT WAS ALMOST LIKE SHE LIVED THESE FEELINGS HER SELF I REALLY LOVE HER WRITING AND POETRY SHE MADE ME FEEL THOSE THOUGHTS And feelings i love this writer!!!!!!
