58662, I'm not sure this will be what you mean...
Posted by rubbersoulonice, Fri Jul-21-06 08:08 PM
But if you want to spend a lot of time thinking about yourself try:
"Four Quartets" by TS Eliot, a late work
My poetry professor just got her book in print and it won a prize - I like it but I haven;t got it figured out yet:
"This One Tree" by Katie Peterson
Fun, nationally prominent, and entertaining if maybe a little light:
"Sailing Around the Room Alone" by Billy Collins

Something like Eldridge
Cleaver meets John Lennon
