A reviewer
As I read this compilation, I was immediately struck by how wonderfully joyous and playful so many of the poems here are. I get enough gloom and doom in my daily life--when I reach for literature, I 'sometimes' want a measure of respite from the world's cares--a respite which very few contemporary poets seem willing/able to provide. Joie de vivre hasn't been in vogue for a long time--maybe this compilation will bring on a wave of Shiny Happy People.

This Series Has Become A Joke
This should be a yearly opportunity to talk about all the exciting things happening in American poetry. Unfortunately Scribner has allowed it to become David Lehman's vanity press. Most of the people included in this anthology are one degree of seperation from either Lehman or Billy Collins personally. From reading this you might assume that The New School is the premiere Poetry Program in the country. It's not. This anthology has become an nepotistic orgy. Billy Collins' intro is revealing only in that he seems to not like poetry very much. Stop giving these people your money--for any poet to buy this anthology is an act of self-hatred.
