I enjoy Hirsch's poetry and I love listening to him speak about poetry in general (several free podcasts featuring him are available through iTunes), but I found myself dozing through this book. It's clear that he loves poetry, but many of the poems he chooses to highlight are baffling. Frankly, I'd rather be reading poetry than reading about Hirsch's abiding love of poetry.
