Is this my least favorite best American poetry collection? Yes, I think it is. I was pretty sure I'd not take to this collection when I saw the name of the editor; I'm not a big fan of Charles Wright.
The vast majority of the poems struck a Hemingway-esque note with me, a macho man trying to make it in this kinder, gentler world. But here and there, I found a common spirit. How can I read fifty poems and not find a few that light up my heart?! Impossible.
