Collected Poems
AuthorEdna St. Vincent Millay

When an interviewer once asked Ray Bradbury what he did to prepare to write every day, he answered, “I read poetry.”

He read poetry, to write prose.

It made me want to read more poetry than I already do, and it also inspired me to find new poets, too. I recently came home from the library...
What Is This Thing Called Love: Poems
AuthorKim Addonizio
ISBN0393327094
Reading poetry from a familiar poet and knowing it's going to be good is one thing, reading poetry from a poet you know nothing about and being blown away is quite another.

The Book of Images
AuthorRainer Maria Rilke
I would like to step out of my heart’s door
and be under the great sky.
— Rilke, “Lament”
A myriad of shades, a plethora of images, the juxtaposition of sentiments which soothe and unsettle. A miscellany of visuals and existential hues. A mélange of nuances and distinctive sounds....
Selected Poems II: 1976 - 1986
AuthorMargaret Atwood
ISBN0395454069
A collection of poems from Two-Headed Poems, True Stories and Interlunar, with seventeen new poems. Revisiting old friends is always fun!

In 1938 Random House published The Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers, a volume that would remain in print for more than fifty years.

Praise for The Ordering of Love
By Madeleine L’Engle

I purchased a copy of this book before leaving for Senegal as a Peace Corps Volunteer in 1974. For two years I lived in a mud hut in a small village on the edge of the Sahara, far from running water, electricity, or anybody who spoke english.

The Voice That Is Great Within Us kept me excellent company...

Triumph of Achilles
AuthorLouise Glück
ISBN0880010827
From the opening line ("It is not the moon, I tell you") Gluck claims absolute control of subject, craft, and perception. We see what we are instructed to see; we understand what Gluck insists we understand. Gluck's sensitivity to emotional nuance is extreme: "I ask you, how much beauty/ can a person...

In the Clearing
AuthorRobert Frost
ISBN0805006257
I remember at one time in my life when I loved poetry. Loved it to no end. But then, I read poem after poem after poem in college, and I burned out. It wasn't until Shel Silverstein, when Catherine was a toddler, that I re-thought my burn out of poetry. Humor and creativity made me love Silverstein. But I honestly...

Collected Poems of Louis MacNeice
AuthorLouis MacNeice
ISBN0571113532
Dipped in and out of this book for many a month and came away very impressed with MacNeice as a poet -- it's a shame he seems to have been overshadowed by Auden (who I guess he resembles but has a less arch quality to him, in my opinion.) I also think he gets a bum rap for being remembered primarily for his poem...
