That's what I call a review!
(My wife bought me the Penguin Book of the Sonnet last February for my birthday. I'm afraid I didn't react well, and threw it away, though not when she was looking.)

Michael:
Thanks for posting the link to my review, although I didn't mean to steal Len's thread. In any case, you should have seen the review before my editor exerted a little moderating influence!

Whoa, guys--not "my" thread.
I don't "own" anything.

However,

Richard, that's a really mild, mild
review compared to some of the things
that could have been said. But the
proof is in the etc., etc. I invite others to
thumb through the "Best" volume at their
local bookstore, then report back.

There is a blistering exhange of letters
in the current Hudson Review on a negative
review (of a volume by Jeffrey Harrison)
by someone named (I think) Brian Phillips.

I invite all to enjoy!
