Title: Overrated
Review: The judge of the series noted that this book was the best FIRST book of poetry he's read in several years. In my opinion, the material in this book is derivative, and the judge's comments only reinforce my view on the state of poetry in america in general...i.e. [its bad].Can't compare to any of the greats: Pound, Bishop, cummings. Save your $$ and buy something from someone who can actually write...instead of buying the "best first book of poetry" some hayseed has read.I would rate it 0 stars but amazon.com doesn't give us that option.
