These poems were poignant enough to read at the dinner table to my family and in the car driving up snowy back-roads hunting for a Christmas tree with friends. Both audiences found these poems moving and good listening. I think any book that can earn that kind of praise deserves the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

I would say that this was a disappointing collection, as I like a number of Strand's poems and some of them very much (e.g., http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/mark_strand/poems/11836), but Blizzard of One never gave me anything on which to settle a hope that it would rise above banal.

I like that Strand is playful in his poetry. He’s not afraid to incorporate imagination and weirdness. I would like to read more of his work after reading this collection.

This book as a whole contained quite a few poems that didn't do anything for me, but the three or four poems that did made up for them by a long shot.
