As part of my ongoing discovery of poetry I decided to get this book having come accross it in a shop on one of the rare occasions I was actually buying new (rather than used) books.

I've read a variety of poetry so far but not really any contemporary poets that was a classical style, or not comedy based. I thoroughly enojyed lots of them and found many very emotive. I'm not in a position to critique poetry really but if they make you feel something than it's a definite positive.

I particularly enjoyed the following:

No Continuing City
In Memorium
Carrigskeewaun
The Lodger
The Civil Servant
Ash Keys
Peace
Bacuis and Philemon
A Poppy
The Weather in Japan
Lizard Orchid
Age
Orpen
Telemachos
Totem

Additionally, Quatrains, Ravine, and Lullaby were very moving but extemely depressing so not sure enjoyed is the correct term but they deserve a mention as well.
