By Billkozy on 04/20/2008
It is April, "in the Spring when a young man's (or woman's) fancy turn to ...poetry" as writer Jamshid Mousavinezhad put it in his column in the amNY news daily. In the column he recommends the Norton Anthology of Poetry: "the only way to love poetry is to read lots of it--this tome stuffed with hundreds of poems might be the ideal companion on a desert island."
He goes on to list several poets to get the hungry poetry reader started on what was defined as "the best words in their best order." Here are his suggestions.
