Customer Reviews

great intro to contemporary poetry

Poetry doesn't have to be Shakesperian sonnets and school type stuff and so much does NOT "have to depend on the red wheelbarrow".Poetry does not have to be dry and boring and only read in schools!This is not fixed verse. This is not about flowers, sunshine, and shiny-happy love. This is not nicities.This is raw.personal.new.freeverse.Anyway, I like it and maybe you will too!
