I read The Best American Poetry 2008 but cant recall even one poem. Not even The water cooler poem by Paul Muldoon rings no bell. His sweet-throated throstle in many lines, didnt etch itself enough in my memory.
Reading the same line or word or sound more than once, whether in a refrain or rhyme, takes the poem and the reader outside of the realm of everyday written language. - Poetry for beginners, Margaret Chapman & Kathleen welton
While in fiction, the authors are urged to write dialogue mimicing the everyday language, poetry is willing to go on a flight with snowman

Starting today: 100 poems for Obama's first 100 days, is an interesting project.
After the inaugural poem by Elizabeth Alexander, 99 followed her.

Comet made a one third poet
I came across Murilo Mendes in Saramago's Small memories.
A poem of his translated by M S Merwin. Going by the introduction, this book, Say this of horses: a selection of poems has the equine spirit in great proportions. A similar book - Poems about horses by carmela Ciuraru.

Here follows
Where's the moon, there's the moon by Dan Chiasson
Mind, his own and other's intrigues the poet. Looking in. Looking out into another.
When the poem titled Threadended with needle, I was reminded of Merwin's poem. Twine, Sewing kit in another poem.

Poetry radiation
in Louis Untermeyer's words.
In The Poets Laureate Anthology, we are on a long journey of poems.
Each day morning when I read a set of poems by a poet and thought about their style or theme inclination, I knew I was on to a great start of the day. After having read enough pages I could compare poems by different poets on a similar experience. For example compare 'The Groundhog' of Richard Eberhart, 'Traveling through the Dark' by william Stafford and 'The Wellfleet whale'by Stanley Kunitz. I wasnt very familiar with the work of any of these poets. This book was a good introduction to many of the unknown poets.
To find a non popular poem of a well known poet is to know a poet in a new way. Exa, Design by Robert Frost.
The introduction to the authors and their views on poetry and role of poetry are illuminating in the way of how they came to be poets. Some of the influences of their lives are telling in their work.
Many poems got me searching for myths, mostly Greek.
And sometimes when I flip the pages back, I felt that I hadnt read some poems, that way it becomes an endless book.
After reading this book, 'Kill the day' by DonalD Hall is my favourite poem and Richard EberHart is my favourite poet for his eye for nature.
"For sale signs loomed like paper tombstones on the weedy lawns" - Mona Van Duyn.
PS: Poets love to write about Robert Frost. Title paraphrases Walt Whitman's 'The Child who went forth' in recognition of each poet's commitment to spread poetry.

Wise Solomon
When I came across splitting the baby story in The practical writer, my head was trying to recall the story.
As a child, I didnt know enough of the story that one of the baby was killed.
