markm reviewed Good Poems, American Places by Garrison Keillor
Review of 'Good Poems, American Places' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I think this is the third of these Garrison Keillor collections that I have read. The others were called "Good Poems" and "Good Poems for hard times". I must say that they are the best multi author poetry anthologies that I have, and I see about a dozen of them across the room. Keillor's selections are often relatively short, simple and direct, include many different modern poets, and are arranged well with both similarities and differences between consecutive entries apparent. Ultimately, I suppose, he just has good taste. If he has no plans to publish a new collection, I will start over again with the first one.
