I’m not sure what else I can say about this. It’s well curated apart from the global diversity issue and the editors have done some interesting things pairing poems on the same subject or even versions of the same poem side by side. Enjoyable, even with my usual problem of having to reread poems to figure out what’s going on, and worth picking up if you’re curious, but it’s not a whole lot more than that. Killer Verse was a lot more mentally and emotionally challenging.
Warnings: Death, murder, sexual assault. One poem about the Holocaust. Possible romantically mistranslated Ancient Egyptian. Several poems that appears to simultaneously romanticize Indigenous Americans and portray them as horrifically pagan. One poem referencing the AIDS epidemic.
