I keep reading this series habitually, even though I haven't really enjoyed most of a collection in years. Just for my own reference, the poems I found interesting:

"Ring Tone", Bruce Bond
"Mum's the Word", Bob Hicok
"How to Be Eaten by a Lion", Michael Johnson
"Red", Mary Oliver (usually don't like her work)
"On Mercy", Kevin Prufer
"Love", Martha Silano
"Like a Monkey", Mitch Sisskind
"At the New York Public Library, I heard Derek Walcott dismiss the prose poem", Vincent Stanley
"Ultimately Justice Directs Them", Craig Morgan Teicher
"A Sea-Change", Derek Walcott
