What other good issues are people willing to show us?

You had mentioned 'collections' in your subject header. So I thought I'd share with you that I picked up Richard Wilbur's Collected Poems from Amazon recently (since I'm supposed to be going to hear him in Newburyport on Oct 13th). And I've not nearly read all his poems, but I did find his section of poems for Children and Others very witty and clever with simple but cute drawings to illustrate them. I especially liked the ones on 'opposites'.
I also picked up another of his books, "New and Collected Poems", so I have my reading cut out for me over the next few weeks. He has a rather odd poem called 'Phone Booth'. I couldn't say I like it (it's too far out for my taste), but there are so many poems in these books, I'm sure I'll enjoy many of them.
Sorry for sounding so brash with my opinion on the 'Greatest Living Poet' blog.
