The title is not at first glance what you think it might be. I have over 300 volumns of poems in my library and about 200 hundred are devoted to what we think of as formal poetry.

But I do not write much of this, if any. But it's not because I don't like it. I just perfere a different kind. This book has a lot of that for your consideration.

On the back it says " A spirited anthyology of contemporary American poetry that focuses on the new poem-the hybrid-
a synthesis of traditional and the experinental styles"

I do not try to foster any kind or style of poetry on the anyone. To me if it's good I like it. I have many translations in my library and find them excellent. I'm not an expert, far from it, but I do think you will enjoy very much getting a copy of this volumn. It will keep you up for nights.

Thank you guys. I hope many will give it at least a glance. You local library will have it or be able to order it for you as most will consider it one for the library collection. They do not have to be difficult to fall into this class.W.C.Williams showed us that. And they may not be to your taste. That's fine. Poetry for everone. That's the thing.
