POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE
Featured this week in the Poetry Resource Books section of the PSH
Bookstore:
180 MORE: EXTRAORDINARY POEMS FOR EVERY DAY edited by BILLY COLLINS
Inspired by Billy Collins's poem-a-day program for American high
schools that he began through the Library of Congress, the original
Poetry 180: A Turning Back to Poetry was a gathering of clear,
contemporary poems aimed at a wide audience. In 180 More, Collins
continues his ambitious mission of exposing readers of all ages to
the best of today's poetry. Here are another 180 hospitable,
engaging, reader-friendly poems, offering surprise and delight in a
wide range of literary voices-comic, melancholy, reflective,
irreverent. If poetry is the original travel literature, this
anthology contains 180 vehicles ready to carry you away to
unexpected places.
With poems by: Robert Bly, Carol Ann Duffy, Eamon Grennan, Mark
Halliday, Jane Kenyon, David Kirby, Thomas Lux, Donna Masini, W. S.
Merwin, Paul Muldoon, Carol Muske-Dukes, Vijay Seshadri, Naomi
Shihab Nye, Gerald Stern, Ron Padgett, Linda Pastan, Victoria Redel,
Franz Wright, Robert Wrigley, and many more...
