Spent most of the year (2011) with this anthology. Lots of gems within.

I love Schiffman's use of language and his ability to couch a seemingly ineffable concept in language that strikes a cord. His use of epithets like feeling-tone, his stress on the important of experiencing who you are, his encouragement to play with lines of energy and the razor's edge are all encouragements to keep growing by loving and listening to yourself.

I absolutely love Oliver's poetry. I am not sure that I will ever stop reading this. Breathtaking!
