a poet of the first magnitude
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Any critical reader of poetry will understand Marie Ponsot's importance as a leading poet of our time. A modernist in the sense of being playful and self-aware, she is also a traditionalist whose footing in classical literature allows her to dance in extraordinary (and catchy) rhymes and rhythms. The Bird Catcher is one of the best collections of poetry by any poet, ever.
Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The Bird Catcher was a strong collection by Marie Ponsot, that contains subtle beauty intertwined with a strong presence of the self. Marie Ponsot has a unique voice, though there are elements of Phillip Levine's poignancy in her poems.
