Review # 1 was written on 2013-11-28 00:00:00 Robert M. Barger There are some absolute masterpieces in here. Others I didn't care for. Still others I need to go back to because of their difficulty. The guest editor this time, John Hollander, chose several long poems. Only one I really had a problem with that was 30 pages long and didn't seem to be much of a good poem. But I always give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to modern poetry.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-28 00:00:00 Luis Gonzalez Gonzalez Late 90s poetry ran LONG. And not in a good way. Also kind of pretentious, to be honest. The Antigone one was okay and I liked one about a half-open door that went on for three or four pages but not enough to remember the name if that tells you anything. So no. Not really great poetry.
