POETRY REVIEWS

By Bob Corbett

For many years now I've been posting reviews of the books I read. I actually started these more for myself than others, since my memory isn't very good, I would find myself rereading books I had already read, and having a sense I'd read this before!

Now I've decided to books of poetry, or at least a parts of a larger collections. I've started this project in November 2010. Below is the list of these poetry books and my comments on them.
