I can see myself using a few of these more descriptive possibilities in my effective writing or creative writing courses. I loved the writing exercised provided before each new sections. They also make it possible to pick a single category and read from there rather than reading from beginning to end. These categories helped me know what I was getting into before I started each one. I liked how the book was organized into categories including “Artists”, “Friendships”, “I too am American”, “Why I write Poetry”, “As we sit here”, “Furious”, and “The Tree that was in front of my house”. It’s nice to have a book that you can pick up and read from anywhere, as it doesn’t need to follow the beginning to end format. However, the organization and easy-to-read elements of the book made it appealing. I rated this book of poetry in the middle of spectrum because although many of the poems individually are terrific, there are some less than great poems that don’t begin to touch any feelings and/or are too vague.
