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.

I interpreted this two different ways thinking one was the more likely but not 100% sure! Either way or neither way, definitely a thought provoking piece!
Oooo, that was so profound! Loved your Senryu!
Thatβs a very good turn of phrase. Just keep saying it in my head in a variety of deep, thoughtful voices
Always so eloquent, always so insightful, sir!
Mmm, interesting.
