Review Summary: For the Sentimentalists
Review: I bought this Dover Thrift knowing that I would at least like a few of the poems, and even one great poem would be worth a measly dollar. These are poems that speak of the greatness of America, or the treachery of slavery, or other such things that bring tears to your eyes if you don't fall asleep before its over. Now don't get me wrong, every poem in this book marks a great step for women in poetry, and all of the poems are good. For those who like surrealism and dreamlike imagery though (like me), this book is more worth buying for the poems such as: "Daddy" (S. Plath's jerking rendering of the thoughts of a half-Jew, half-German woman), "Bluebeard's Closet" (R. Cooke's portrayal of the horrors of the room filled with dead wives), and a few other such of the like. The title, "Great Poems by American Women" should read "Great First Poems by American Women". The great poems of more recent poets were awfully ignored in the making of this mediorce (but hey, not a bad trade for the price) anthology.
