Title: A BOOK TO GROW OLD WITH
Product review: This is a book to be comfortable with. Consider how closely connected one to another all the famous poets are. It's good of God to keep all the most gifted people moving in the very smallest of circles, so they'll be easy for the rest of us to locate; He doesn't bother bestowing talent where it won't be recognized: on starving children, for instance (you'll learn that from James Merrill, if you listen carefully). The book contains notes by Mr. Harmon, wherein he repeats for us what his educators repeated to him about each poet and poem; there's a dedication to Mr. Harmon's daughter, who matters tremendously; and there's even a special thanks to "all the poets, critics, and editors whose judgment has propelled these works into the position of the `Top 500 Poems!'" This is a book for bedside tables; all that's missing is some sort of wake-up call.
