[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

I haven't finished this book yet, but the 10 or so poems I've read so far alone warrant 5 stars. The book is divided by author, and each author section starts with a short, maybe one paragraph biography, followed by at least two, sometimes more poems. So far really enjoying Charles Reznikoff and Denise Levertov.
