Modern Poetry: Poems by Diane Seuss

4.0

My favorite poem in this wonderful collection is "My Education" and as a poet myself, I found this one line from it to be a real treasure and gift: "You will mispronounce words in front of a crowd. It cannot be avoided. But your poems, with all of their deficiencies, products of lifelong observation and asymmetric knowledge, will be your own." Thank you, Diane, for this crucial reminder and for your brave, honest and inspiring words!
