  • Poetry 180 by Billy Collins

    Billy Collins' work as a poet most certainly surpasses his efforts as a collector and compiler of contemporary poetry, if "Poetry 180" is any kind of an indicator. It's one thing to say that contemporary narrative poetry is not far removed from prose, it's quite another to demonstrate, by collected examples, that it is, in fact, nothing more than prose -- prose that has sustained fractured lines -- and some of it not even very interesting, inspirational, beautiful, thought-prvoking, sad, happy...you name it...prose. This is not to say that the book is without exceptions to such an allegation, but it is to say that the exceptions seem all too few and far between. Still and all, "Poetry 180" probably is a fairly representative example of what's happening with and to contemporary poetry.

  • Something to read and read

    It's packed full of goodness, especially for me as a learning poet.
