George and Martha Back in Town
AuthorJames Marshall
ISBN0395479460
Oh my god, I just love George and Martha so much.  Unfortunately, my library only had five of the seven books in this series, so this one is going to have to hold me over until I can find the other two elsewhere.  Again, like I've been saying for my past reviews about the George and Martha books, James Marshall...

Middle Earth: Poems
AuthorHenri Cole
ISBN0374529280
Time was plunging forward,
like dolphins scissoring open water or like me,
following Jenny's flippers down to see the coral reef,
where the color of sand, sea and sky merged,
and it was as if that was all God wanted:
not a wife, a house or a position,
but a self, like a needle, pushing...

In the Next Galaxy
AuthorRuth Stone
ISBN1556592078
“Her poems startle us over and over with their shapeliness, their humor, their youthfulness, their wild aptness, their strangeness, their sudden familiarity, the authority of their insights, the moral gulps they prompt, their fierce exactness of language and memory.”—Galway Kinnell on...
New and Selected Poems

Monolithos: Poems, 1962 and 1982
AuthorJack Gilbert
ISBN0394523865
4 Stars for the 1982 portion of the book. 3 Stars for the context of 1962. 1962 was to me, a lot of searching in vague, philosophical and sometimes superfluous ways. 1982 was funny and raw, drawing more vividly from everyday, yet unordinary experiences. There is more beauty and simplicity in those observations...
Awake
AuthorDorianne Laux
ISBN0918526779
I think I ordered this for my birthday in July last year but I have only just read it.

Which is what I did this morning. I made...
New and Selected Poems, 1974-1994
