Eight American Poets: An Anthology by Joel Conarroe

5.0

A mesmerizing collection of poets, mainly from the Modernist period, I enjoyed revisiting the works of Roethke, Bishop, Plath, and Sexton, some of my favorites, as well as discovering poets that had slipped under my radar all these years -- Merrill, Lowell, and Berryman. An introductory smattering of poetry for readers who may not be quite as familiar with these works (my husband has now discovered a love for Roethke's words and the joy they evoke in their readers) and for those who want to, as Plath puts it, "taste the words" of favorite poems.
