Really cool, really weird, I would recommend to almost no one but I will share individual poems from it for the rest of my adult life.

Like watching “Our Town” by Wilder. It’s amazing what you learn from snippets in a graveyard.

I have no idea why this book is not more popular--it is completely groundbreaking amazing.
A member of my book club had not read it in High School so we checked it out during national poetry month.
Epic.
Game Changer.
Likely so influential when it came out that it is was quickly considered uncool by those who know literature--but they would be completely wrong. This thing is a MASSIVE collection with an almost infinite number of VERY good ideas.
I strongly recommend that you read this as soon as possible after which you will have it shelved next to Leaves of Grass as a classic of the American form.
Read this right now.

not usually my kind of thing, but it wasn't bad. :-)
a collection of poetry where each poem is spoken by a person buried in the cemetery of a small midwestern town. my favorite part was making connections between all the characters as they referred to each other and reading their alternate perspectives on events and people.
not a very happy anthology, to be sure, but certainly thought-provoking and entertaining.

Libro sbagliato nel momento sbagliato(?). Non sempre, ma abbastanza. Una noia.
