Summary: pretty solid anthology
Comment: Webb's definition of what 'Stand Up Poetry' is contains all that I love in poetry--including humor, sensuality, sexuality, and more. In fact, Webb's introduction is a great one. I'd recommend you read it, if nothing else. Now, I wouldn't say that all the poems are great, or that even all of them live up to Webb's criteria, but you get a lot of good work in here. You'll find Kim Addonizio (two wonderful poems by her), Charles Bukowski, Lucille Clifton, Wanda Coleman, Billy Collins (always a pleasure to read), Stephen Dunn, Russell Edson, Paul Hoover, Maxine Chernoff, Dorianne Laux, Bob Hicok, Thomas Lux, Pattiann Rogers, James Tate, David Trinidad, Fred Voss, and B.H. Fairchild's phenomenal poem "Body and Soul."
as well as good work from Kurt Brown, Philip Dacey, Barbara Hamby, Deborah Harding, Tony Hoagland, Suzanne Lummis, and Dan Nielsen.
Trust me, this is an anthology you want to read.
