I checked this book out from the library.Authors Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux have impressive resumes as poets and educators, BUT I'm not impressed with their fact checking.I found a rather big factual error this book:1. They attributed, "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times..." to Dickens' "Great Expectations." But it's from "A Tale of Two Cities." (page 136)Granted, this blunder isn't about poetry, yet Dickens IS buried in Poet's Corner!Well written, inspirational, yes, so I gave it two stars. But I'm not sure if I will buy it.
