This book is a warm, thoughtful invitation to revisit some poets and poems that remind us of the abiding universality of this form of expression. It's also a joyful nudge to try poetry the way it's best experienced....read aloud. I especially love the entries on Eliot, Berryman, Burns and Coleridge. | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I usually don't like getting books that I did not ask for. When someone buys a book for me, there is a certain obligation to actually read it, but doing so takes away time from the books I really want to read.

Customer Review:
Collins poetry is always deep, sophisticated and insightful.
I particularly love "The Four-Moon Planet," "Vermont, Early November," and "The Future."
Collins reflects in this manner on his solitude:
