Book Reviews of Poetry in Motion: 100 Poems from the Subways and Buses
Book Review: As great as a Metrocard swipping perfectly on the first go!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book. I have been reading the poems for years on the Subway and this book is one that combines and collects many of the poems, 100 of them, in one place. One can read this book on the bus or subway and be filled with the words of these great and not so well known wordsmyths. A must have for poetry lovers, especially those who need to have some idea of a cross section of poetry from Audre Lorde to Edna St. Vincent Millay, from T.S. Elliot to an Anonymous entry of the 16th century. There is also a cross culture. There are poems from hispanic poets and poets of Japan. This treasure is well worth buying in hardcover, for surely the soft cover will not last very long. This book requires lots of handling and reading and rereading for the shear joy of the chosen poems. There is a definite dose of New York City throughout and why not? This book is as varied and beautiful as the city whose poems represented here still delight many regular subway riders, tourists, business persons and panhandlers alike!
