Love the roger mcgoughs response poem to Edna at Vincent Millay his poem being a response to travelling called the quiet room which mocked a woman who sat in the quiet carriage and then talked on her mobile for the whole journey. Great book, really brightened by life after feeling gloomy for a while. I've already recommended it to about ten of my friends and will be returning to this book one day hopefully. But if not I believe that this book has hanged me for the better. On a other note 99 books down this year and only one more Togo before I've read 100 and read double my challenge!!!

I really enjoyed this collection of poems. I thought it was a very good idea to write a response to earlier poems that inspired modern poets. my favourite pair was Elizabeth Bishop One Art and Paula Meehen Quitting the Bars
