reviewed Poet's Choice on November 25, 2016 Poet's Choice
A treasure for anyone who wants to read more modern poetry but doesn't know where to begin or what to think of what's out there. Hirsch gives us a large and eclectic sampling, and writes with such knowledge so as to make accessible what can sometimes seem more like a brick wall. His enthusiasm and appreciation are an education. And I kept thinking as I read - no one could say after hearing all these voices, that people are the same - I mean, the plenitude of sameness had me wonderstruck. We all love and cry and hate and heal - but with such variety of colour and shades and levels and angles and depths and tilts as to astound. Which probably doesn't make any sense the way I've written it. Anyway, I highly recommend this book to poetry lovers.
It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.
William Carlos Williams
