Blurb: "As far as poetry collections go, this is one of the best I've come across. Anyone who has ever casually picked up a volume of collected poems, you've probably quickly been disappointed with how dry and inaccessible the poems are. While some of the poems in this collection are more work than pleasure, by and large, Sullivan has compiled some of the most touching and meaning poems of American poets. This volume introduced me to my favorite poem of all time, Recuerdo, by Edna St Vincent Millay. This is a good volume of poems for the casual reader who doesn't yet know if they want to dive in to the wonderful world of poetry. "
