*****Good Poems*

selected and introduced by Garrison Keillor

Reviewed July 7, 2003.
Viking, New York, 2002.
Available at Sembach Library for a limited time. (811.008 GOO)

Garrison Keillor’s right. These are good poems. He selected the poems from ones he has read over the radio that stuck with the listeners.

I like this selection, because it does contain a few of the old classics which I’ve heard many times, but it mostly holds poems I’d never heard before. They are interesting and memorable and worth reading.
