My Best American Poetry 2004 reading is going to go like this:
- I’ll comment here about poems as I read them
- I won’t be reading the notes from or about the authors the first time around
- I’m purposefully avoiding any commentary in poetry blogland until I’m done
- Just for grins I’ll add a score from 1-5.
My opinions represent only me and my regressive, narrative-seeking, Skool-of-Quietude self. I love few poets well enough to want to prop up their weaker efforts out of sheer loyalty, and I don’t think any are appearing in this edition of the BAP.
I am enjoying this very much. I must hurry and get the book, so I can read along with you.
