All done! I finished all 42 books with little time to spare.
One of my favorite things are anthologies where the writers are given a theme and told "Go." Much like other anthologies this was a varied collection.
It was divided up into 3 sections: One Foot Out the Door, In the Middle of the Storm, and The Aftermath. As a lit major I could see the variations in the style of poetry. I enjoyed the different voices and discovered a few poets I want to look into more.
I believe that to get the most out of poetry you have to read it in small doses and drink each poem down slowly. It took me a while to read this way but I got more out of it. It was funny to read about heartbreak while my relationship with The Boy was going well.
