Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

Love the metaphor of this one Lamar! Great work!!
Great interpretation on the challenge 😁
Such a clever take and so well executed! This is a great challenge entry, Lamar! Loved the use of family imagery, added such a strong emotional element
Your poem and your pics are especially striking. I felt both at the gut level. Great work, Lamar!
Oooo, neglect turned up the melting heat, I especially loved that!
Aw, a love story, a break up tale, and an environmental message! Love this ❤️ I’ve been thinking about doing a break-up volcano poem (lol… somehow 😅) but I like this so much better! Wonderful work!
❤️
Yeah, I'd be pissed off if I were an iceberg ousted from the clan..
This made me so sad :( Beautifully penned, Lamar.
Nice work
