senid's review against another edition
2.0
This is a collection of essays and quotes from notebooks. Some were published elsewhere, some under pseudonyms. The parts I found most informative were the introduction by Carolyn Kizer and the essay that was a tribute to the poet Louise Bogan. This is not a comprehensive or cohesive book about poetry. Many of the selections just seemed odd to me to choose to reprint. I can't suggest this book and I wonder what Roethke would have thought about it.
