This is a great book of coupons. It's not a great book of products though. I was looking for a book I could use for a class, though, and this isn't it. I'm glad I bought it, though. I just can't use it for what I bought it for.

Must have for anyone interested in American poetry from the last 50 years

I have a love hate relationship involving this book. I LOVE this book it is one of the only places you can find D.A. Levy's poems. I HATE myself because I have lost it 3 times and I am now on my fourth copy. But this book is great enough where I will buy 4 copies ($65.88) just so i can not be long with out it. It is in my backpack it is on my nightstand. This has given me great perspective within my own writing. Though it could use some more super recent poets (Def jam and some more recent slammers) but over all it is one of the most influential books in my life
