Poetry 180: A Turning Back to Poetry 11 reviews
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003
It meets its intended goal
+ Good for Teachers + A Fine Poetry Anthology
Poetry 180 is both impressive and disappointing. Collins has assembled a volume of accessible, contemporary poetry. It is poetry that will easily convince teens (and the general poetry-impaired public)that poetry can speak directly to them without the academic trappings of analysis. This is an ...

Richard Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America, The Pill versus The Springhill Mine Disaster, and In Watermelon ... 36 reviews Richard Brautigan
Mariner Books, 1989
