As National Poetry Month winds down in its final week, I find a review on the new book by Camille Paglia, Break, Blow, Burn. Which, while I still haven't read it, has made a major impression on friends who have. Paglia takes a collection of 43 of what she considers to be the best poems of all time andblends commentary with the actual history of each chosen poem. According to one reader, it changed the way he interprets a poem, how he approaches it. Another wishes Paglia would publish a second volume of favorites.
