Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

Oh! Good question. I guess it depends on the type of parent. A supportive one or an abuser? Right now I see an abuser.
I love the thought here, DJ!
Though, as a friend, it’s hard to put your friend on time out , or send them to bed without any supper with any kind of authority.
This certainly was eye opening. I never thought about it that way. Loved your poem!
or a bully, excellent thoughts
