it was delightful. I'm not even a fan of poetry, but this is the only book I didn't sell back this semester. I was surprised by how powerful so many of the poems were. Really a good book, one of the best I've read in awhile.
Great tool for teaching students about poetry

This is an exceptional anthology for teaching students about contemporary poetry, and the experience of being exiled. I can't believe such a book finally exists. It makes my job easier as a teacher of English where the poetry lesson has always been such a hard-fought battle to win. I highly recommend it to all teachers (9th-College).
