Summary: I Keep This in My Glovebox
Comment: I have ordered this book for my college English classes for the past four years. Each time I browse through it I find something new, something valuable. I do indeed keep a copy in my car's glovebox. I pull it out if I find myself stuck somewhere and I read a poem or two.
The selections are indeed eclectic and span the globe. They are loosely arranged by theme and my international students assure me that the translations are good and truly reflect the spirit of the originals.
I recommend this highly to people who love poetry and to those who think they might someday at least like it.

Summary: Good collection with at least one typo
Comment: My confidence in this personal and somewhat quirky collection was undermined when I turned to W.S. Merwin's lovely and powerful "For the Anniversary of My Death," (which begins "Every year without knowing it I have passed the day/ When the last fires will wave to me")and saw to my dismay that it had a typo in the last line, changing "bowing" to "boding" and thereby wrecking the poem. Unfortunate oversight. Neruda and other South Americans are noticeable by their absence, begging the question of whether Milosz harbors a grudge.

Summary: MANY GEMS
Comment: MOSTLY POLISH, ASIAN, CZECH, FRENCH,NATIVE AMERICAN AND AMERICAN POETRY. TURNED ME ON TO ROETHKE'S 'CARNATIONS'--AMAZING. A STRONG ECLECTIC COLLECTION OF FAVORITES. NICE TO HAVE CZESLAW'S BRIEF COMMENTS AS A PREAMBLE TO CHOSEN POEM'S HISTORY, ET AL.
