Check out May Sarton’s poems

 

 

Book review:

Good Poems: American Places

 

Garrison Keillor (b1942), ed.

New York: Viking, 2011

484 pages

 

Keillor is no slouch when it comes to picking readable poems, I give him full credit for that.

However, there are so many poems here that this volume isn’t selective in any meaningful way.

Good Poems: American Places has themed sections that are obviously different but the topics aren’t obviously useful.

Is there something for everyone here?

Does anyone really care?

I found a few gems: for example, poems by Tom Hennen and May Sarton.

‘Nuff said.
