Customer Review: 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.

Customer Review: Hemingway said all American writing comes from one book, Huck Finn. Wrong! He also believed himself a better writer than Fitzgerald. Wrong! I'm no literary expert, I haven't gone to Harvard or Yale or any of those overpriced universities for spoiled rich kids but in my expert opinion all American... more info
