What I especially like is that most of the poems have a note from the author which tells about the poem. I think this is interesting. When the author was unavailable for this, they have included a note from an editor or other review. Some great poems collected in this nice, FREE collection.

Beautiful. Rochesterians who enjoy poetry are probably already familiar with BOA. This is a good one to read while on a lake-side holiday. Or it would make a good gift.
