dotorsojak's review
3.0
Really I think this deserves more like 3.5 stars. It's an idiosyncratic collection, which Keillor admits. It skews heavily towards poets writing in the second half of the 20th century, which is okay I guess. For anyone who has read the original GOOD READS, there are many, many poets that overlap from the earlier anthology. I'd like to see more women and people of color included. All that aside, this is a nice selection for readers who like to dip into poetry.

biblio_mom's review against another edition

Its my very first time reading a volume, big chunk of poetry and it took me a couple of years to finished reading because some are good, some are meh, some are straight up not interesting at all that made me put it back down and forgot to pick it up again.
What even this page 255? Mecca With Love? not written by a Muslim, but about a Muslim working at a bar I supposed who are crying because an Israeli was killed? 1⭐️ for that reason alone.
