The Gift of Tongues: Twenty-Five Years of Poetry from Copper Canyon Press

Anthologies are sometimes hard to review because they contain works from varied writers. But this anthology is inspired. The poetry inside is of the highest quality. Certainly the works are varied, no two styles are the same, but this collection provides a great representation of poetic talent. This book has a lengthy introduction by editor and poetry contributer Sam Hamill in addition to brief biographies of each author represented. A long book, it will take some time to read and digest the content, but it is well worth it.
