[Susan Emmet · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyed the breadth and depth of this collection of stories by poets like Plath, Berryman, Millay, Wilbur, Koch, Kizer, O'Hara, Merwin, Garrigue, Bogan and Bishop.
Don't have time to detail each and the quality and punch varies, but overall it was a very good read.
Pulled the book off my shelf at home during the COVID pandemic.
Found many stories quite telling in light of that fact.

I picked this up at a used book store in Manhattan - prose fiction written by poets? I love that it is a bound repository for works that otherwise would have been lost. As any anthology, the stories covered a wide spectrum of styles; some wonderfully rich reflecting a poet’s pen and others more straightforward short tales.

It’s a unique read worth the time

Howard Moss's Introduction is great -- about the importance of building characters. The stories however are bunk, all me, me, me and I, I, I, and no character development.
