Read most of this anthology for English Lit&Lang but it was interesting to read the poems that weren't included in the course.

Suddenly the rain is hilarious. 
The moon wobbles in the dusk. 
What a laugh. Unseen frogs belch in the damp grass.

Did not vibe with it, there were some lines I liked, but rather bored me otherwise.

this was a really lovely poetry collection — burned through it in about a night and even shared a couple pieces with my friends.
