A couple of my favorite poems are included in this book. ( )
  John_Hughel | Feb 1, 2023 |
Even at the first time reading around 1980 and now again in 2022,
poems don't resonate.

Ones I liked: THE NEW YORKERS and the last three paragraphs of MAKE UP.

Good Poetry is tough to write. ( )

I'm not a big fan of free-verse poetry, but she has experiences worth reading about, even if it's in this form. ( )
