Book Reviews of American Poets Say Goodbye to the Twentieth Century
Book Review: Nostalgia avenue
Summary: 5 Stars
A tasty collection of one-time young bloods who made it to century's end, or as good as. The brief was sensibly broad, so there's really no thematic linkage other than a vague sense of 'vale' (that's val-e, as in 'adieu'), but the cast list of (presumably) compilers' mates gives it a nice cosy feel - no Ashbery, for instance (that chilly non-father-figure who looms over the poetic landscape like a slightly grubby glacier...)
