Title: A joy to see such pleasure in Poetry
Review: Paglia's choices are interesting, missing almost all the poems I would choose, though her values in poetry and mine are similar. Each poem is a good choice, and here short and interesting essays should spark discussion between her, the professor and us, the reader, at least in our minds. Or, if one is forturnate to have others of like interests to discuss poems again with renewed vigor.Her close readings are not similar to introductions to classroom discussion, but they ARE introductions to discussion. This book would be great for book groups, friends, and any group of interested individuals interested in the meaining of our lives and the role of poetry as we strive to be better.
