Masonic Poems Book

This was kind of meh. The author has a bad case of American exceptionalism - in the introduction, he basically says "I had to limit the number of American poems to 50% of the book because America has produced an astonishing number of excellent poets" and I thought, of course you think that; YOU'RE AMERICAN. There were several poems I really enjoyed, several that made me think, many that I thought were okay, some that were utterly incomprehensible to me. I did enjoy reading poems from different cultures on different events of the twentieth century.
