Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-07 00:00:00 Vincent Morgan The poetry anthology edited by Garrison Keillor is absolutely outstanding. I know the subtitle suggests that the poems between these covers are meant for "hard times," but really, they are good for anytime. Touching on themes from birth to death and every moment in between, the palpable talent of so many poets shines on each page. Most often, the brief moments portrayed are simple but in the context of this anthology all is profound. Mr. Keillor's introduction is its own poetic essay. I really can't recommend this collection highly enough. It was darn near perfect.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-01-31 00:00:00 Neal Egan What a collection! So many good ones that I quake with amazement...it's all too much to take in at one sitting. Savor it then, take it piece by piece and go back to it to see it in the light of another understanding. Why don't they use this in high school for poetry appreciation instead of the dusty Victorian material of the standard curriculum? Or maybe it hits me right because I'm NOT a high school student but am the age I am!
