Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-15 00:00:00 Richard Kemp Tin House is one of only two literary journals that I always keep subscriptions for, no matter how tight my budget. The content is always fresh, interesting, and well worth the read. And, though they publish quite a bit more fiction than poetry, the poetry that they do publish is top-quality and never disappoints. As might be expected, then, this collection is a wonderful anthology of poems from across their years, and contains some of my favorite poems and favorite authors. Any reader of poems will recognize some of the authors, and discover many new ones along the way. All-together, it's an absolutely wonderful anthology, and perhaps even my favorite when it comes to a diverse collection of contemporary poems. Highly recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-24 00:00:00 Kent Hilen I can't say this is a fair grading of this collection of poems, as I did speed-read through the poems. I did come out becoming a Donald Halls admirer. "Pond Afternoons" could not be any more relevant to these hot, humid Summer days.
