"I am so not a Garrison Keillor fan--While his radio show contains some good nuggets, more often than not the stories ramble for an eternity before reaching a mediocre punchline. However, I love this anthology of poems selected by Keillor. I recommend it to anyone who thinks that poetry doesn't resonate with them--these poems are accessible, easy to read and many of them, in Keillor tradition, tell stories."
""This is not Introduction to Poetry (MWF 9am Chemistry 150, 3 cr) and I am not the Maud Hill Hallowell Professor of American Lit, and your name isn't Daphne Foxcroft. It's simply a book of poems... that somehow stuck with me...." from Keillor's intro to this book. Recommended."
"I've been reading this one off and on for four or five months; it's not to be digested all at once! The poems Keillor chooses are, on average, sentimental and accessible, and I mean that in the best way. They are poems that bridge the gap between your heart and the poet's, rather than separating you. They are also, very largely, twentieth-century poems written by people I've never heard of; these are mostly not the endlessly anthologized poems found in most volumes like this one. A really excellent read."
