An excellent collection by all standards.
This is the definitive book of modern poetry, period. An incredible collection of poignant, and sometimes rare, poetry that gives an excellent cronological collection spanning both race and gender. From the reformers to the resulting sub-genres of modern poetry, all of the best representations are included to give the reader a true taste of all that is modern poetry. Also included are tasteful and relative photographs to accompany several of the poems which only enhances the asthetics of this book. An excellent book for any collector of modern poetry.

A candid and highly intelligent account of personal growth
This memoir recounts the personal evolution of a highly accomplished professor of literature forced to confront a debilitating health crisis involving her back. As a result she questions the path she has taken in life, examining with relentless candor her own past. At the same time, her obsession with a nineteenth century literary figure, Constance Fenimore Woolson, leads her on an unpredictable and surprising course of speculation on matters of spirituality, feminism, and personal psychology. The author's intelligence, humor, determination, and sheer literary skill take this memoir well beyond the usual inspirational new age stuff, and the result is a fine meditation on the coming together of many forces that refocus and redefine her sense of self.
