DESCRIPTION:
a wonderful collection This is one of the best recent poetry anthologies I've seen. It addresses the topic of marriage from multiple viewpoints, from the tender moments of first love, to the satisfactions of a long-lasting union, and including arguments, separations (emotional or physical), illnesses, and intimacies. I find myself dipping into this volume again and again, finding a new treasure each time, and recognizing aspects of my own marriage in many of the poems. The book includes some of my favorite poets, but also includes some wonderful poets I had never heard of before. I have give. poetry book for many occasions I don't usually read poetry, but this collection of poems about all aspects of marriage, from engagement to divorce to 50th wedding anniversaries, is a poetry book that I will enjoy and pass on to others. Suitable for weddings, anniversaries, breakups, make-ups, and birthdays. More poems by women than men, but both sexes should relate to this anthology.. "nice collection of poems" according to K. Marriott. just what I was looking for - a bridal shower gift for a slightly older, educated bride who loves books!
In this inspiring collection of poetry, more than 100 contemporary American poets write about marriage. In PROPOSING ON THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE, the reader will discover poems for weddings and anniversaries, along with reflections on nearly every aspect of married life. Like Connors' earlier anthology, ESSENTIAL LOVE, this book gives an in-depth look at a topic of nearly universal interest.
