Good Poems, American Places ReviewWhen I first saw this anthology in a book store I was prepared to like it less than Keillor's two previous anthologies, "Good Poems" and "Good Poems for Hard Times." I didn't believe that this new collection with it's poems describing different American locations would be as appealing.
I was totally wrong. Keillor is a wonderful anthologist with an unerring eye for poems which cover a broad range of moods from pathos to wry comedy. This collection is eclectic, funny and humane. At a time when so much about America can seem troubling or confused, this collection reminds us what a motley, messy and yet lovable collection of malcontents we Americans can be. Whether or not you've spent any time travelling around this country, this collection will remind you of the sprawling, majestic and quirky grandeur of America.
I loved the book!Good Poems, American Places OverviewAnother bestselling anthology from Garison Keillor-beautiful verses rooted in the American landscape. Garrison Keillor, the editor of Good Poems and Good Poems for Hard Times, host of The Writer's Almanac, and all-around arbiter of fine American poetry, introduces another inspiring collection by a range of poets, some beloved favorites and others brash unknowns, organized by regions of America. From Nantucket to Knoxville, Manhattan to Minnesota, the heart can be exalted anywhere. Think of these poems as postcards-from Billy Collins, Nikki Giovanni, William Carlos Williams, Naomi Shihab Nye, Gary Snyder, Mary Oliver, and many more. Like the previous Good Poems collections, this volume celebrates the high-spirited, the witty and antic and jazzy voice that in many ways defines the land of the free. Choosing poems full of humor, sharp insight, and warmth, Garrison Keillor once again makes good poetry accessible and immensely enjoyable.
