Poet's Choice par Edward Hirsch
This collection of 130 newspaper columns that Hirsch wrote for the Washington Post, each briefly discussing the work of a poet or poets he admires, is like a treasure trove of bread crumbs which can lead the reader onto paths of interest throughout the poetic corpus. Hirsch's love of poetry is wide ranging and enthusiastic and it's hard to imagine anyone but the expert not finding introductions here to new and interesting poets, and more avenues down which to go exploring.
This is a long collection, so be prepared! If you are prepared to take in a few poems at a time, it's a great read!
This collection is serious and packed full of content, as well as commentary. It's a really interesting take and I enjoyed it. Normally I enjoy reading a few poems at a time, but I had to binge this one due to time constraints. It's a massive one that I don't recommend reading in one sitting, but it's still a great read!
Three out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (plus d'informations)

Reading a poem and falling in love with poetry can be a very personal and subjective experience. Here are a few tips that may help you get started:
Start by finding a poem that speaks to you on a personal level. Look for poems that touch on themes or experiences that resonate with you, or that evoke strong emotions.
Take your time as you read the poem. Don't worry about understanding every word or phrase right away – allow yourself to savor the language and rhythm of the poem.
Pay attention to the structure and form of the poem. How is it organized? Does it have a regular rhyme scheme or meter? How do these elements contribute to the overall meaning or effect of the poem?
Consider the imagery and figurative language used in the poem. What do the words and phrases conjure up in your mind? How do they contribute to the mood or theme of the poem?
Think about the speaker of the poem. Who is telling the story or expressing the thoughts and feelings in the poem? How does the speaker's perspective shape the way you interpret the poem?
Reflect on your own reactions and feelings as you read the poem. How does the poem make you feel? What memories or associations does it bring to mind?
By engaging with a poem in this way, you may find that you begin to appreciate and enjoy the art and beauty of poetry.… (plus d'informations)

One of my favorite anthologies with poems from more than one hundred poets. Curated by Edward Hirsch they come alive again or for the first time, but always presented with commentary that adds to your own critical assessment. I love returning to old favorites with a new eye & ear, or finding new poems and poets whose verse resonates and inspires this reader.
