Summary: Earth took of Earth -- a great anthology
Comment: This anthology is a must-have for those who love poetry. Jorie has compiled a wide range of poems, from the anonymously written (ca 1000, UK) "Earth Took of Earth" to a selection from Derek Walcott's "The Schooner Flight", and everywhere in between. Jorie's introduction sums it up well: "The poets here are rich and poor, they die young, they live to be old, they are gay, straight, married, consumptive, alcoholic, secular, religious -- their fathers beat them, their mothers scare them, they are loved madly, they are raped and tortured, they live quiet domestic lives, they die in trenches, they live in exile, in jail, in pretty suburban houses -- they teach, sell shoes, work in gas stations, in museums, in defense factories, in kitchens -- they are explorers, seducers, upstanding citizens, fascists, Marxists, visionaries, lunatics. They live all this out in one beautiful everchanging language -- of vocables, of forms, of assumptions, of beliefs, of idioms -- all sinewed by depth of soul, love of words, and an extraordinary capacity for original honest emotion." This book is a deligt to read as well as an excellent resource.
