Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A Lot of Fine Poetry A nice inexpensive edition of Roethke's poetry. There is a great deal of interesting and sometimes powerful poetry in this book. While taste's will differ, I find the earlier and later poems to be the most compelling. A good deal of Roethke's work in the middle of his life is characterized by experimentation with language.

High school and College students across the nation (especially in Michigan) have been cheated by not being introduced to this outstanding writer of poetry. Open a new door and read some Roethke!! Rating: - Is That All There Is? The only thing wrong with this book is that there should be more of it. Roethke represents a watershed in American letters, a watershed we kids slobbered down the wrong side of, the side not his. For delicacy of daring the difficult to bear, even to notice, he can hardly be surpassed, and this almost without ever choking up the voice -- his or ours. Rating: - A Permanent Poet I relished Roethke when I first read him in high school, along with Hart Crane, e.e. cummings, and the Beats. I still admired him in college, when I wrote poetry myself, and regarded most other "living" poets with suspicious disdain. Many poets I loved then have lost some of their charm for me (my loss, not theirs) but, forty five years later, I still read Roethke. Does that speak to you? see more
