Gift of poetry

Nothing beats getting presents, particularly when it's something you'd set your sights on. My friend, M., from the MFA program met me at the weekly tea today and gave me a book, which strangely enough, I had added to my wishlist just three days before! I'd read the review at NY Times and thought I might get it next month. She knows I've been teaching poetry for the past few weeks because of a little discussion we had on the readings I selected, and M. said she thought of me when she read the review for Break, Blow, Burn. It features 43 rather varied poems and analyses of them. Perfect for reading pleasure.
