Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out!
No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

We call her "Priscilla, Queen of the Destination". She's great, but when she's off there's no persuading her otherwise.
Oh yeah. Good one. π€£
I would have started crying! Lol! My anxiety always makes sure I'm early for everything. Even being on time makes me feel so terrible. I would die if I was late, that too on my first day of work π€£π€£π€£ I loved your Senryu!
