"This is a good anthology for random reading. I enjoy opening the book to a section, each is organized by a season of the year, and reading a few poems. The opportunity to find poets with whom I'm unfamiliar is just as much fun as the anticipation of encountering an old friend. With the inclusion of incisive notes by Robert Hass, a former Poet Laureate, this is a welcome addition to my poetry shelf."
"I would recommend this to anyone wanting to become more familiar with poetry.
While Robert Hass was Poet Laureate of the United States, he wrote a weekly newspaper column in which he highlighted various poets. Many of the poems are written for or relate to a certain time of year. Hass exposed the US to poetry in a way that had not been done for many years. I love his introductions to these poems. He is a kind and warm poetry-loving teacher. His voice speaks through his column and offers brief insights and observations without sounding like a lecture."
