The Literary Genuis of the Poem "Destiny",
By Tiffany Smith (Brooklyn, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: America at the Millennium : The Best Poems and Poets of the 20th Century (Hardcover)
When I purchased the volume of poetry untitled, America at the Millennium: The Best Poems and Poets of the 20th Century I didn't have any idea of what I was in store for, but when I fliped through the pages of classic poetry it was revealed to me. Every poem in this collection has it's own essence and appeal, but this one particular poem caught my attention. The poem untitled, "Destiny" by Dawn Simmons. It reads, Do we decide our destiny? Are we as complex as they say we are? The poem is just simply literary genuis at its finest, the way the words just leap off the page. It also provides mature ensight and perspective along with thought provoking words that demand a deep reflection on the current state of America and Human civilization and society as a whole. Anyone, that is contemplating on whether or not to purchase this volume of poetry shouldn't think twice, because both this poem and volume of poetry are literary masterpieces.

SELDOVIA, ALASKA WHERE POETS ARE INSPIRED,
By Esther B. Gates (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: America at the Millennium : The Best Poems and Poets of the 20th Century (Hardcover)
I am one of the poets featured in this anthology, a remarkable collection, so I am indeed honored. My poem SELDOVIA, ALASKA, is featured on page 300 of this book. I believe this poem describes a hidden place of heaven on earth for all who love the beauty of nature! If you haven't been to Seldovia and stayed at the Swan House Bed and Breakfast, your life is not complete! This is a place to dream, to paint (with camera or brush) to write prose or poetry or even to fish!

Review of MOVED, by S. Carey,
By A Customer
This review is from: America at the Millennium : The Best Poems and Poets of the 20th Century (Hardcover)
"Moved", a poem by S.Carey, is an excellent choice and, arguably, one of the best in the anthology. There is a jagged personality and rugged symbolism in "Moved" that grits its teeth and seethes at the game played through a screen door. "Moved" uses its words sparingly and possessively. Carey's narrator plays host to a home once open, now "dead-bolted". A screen door represents willing vulnerability and yet is the only thing separating the narrator from what could be perceived as more-than-friendship relationship. In contrast, Carey's use of words like "deliberate" and "slammed", along with the abrupt use of punctuation and line breaks, clearly defines finality, distrust and smug triumph. The poem is confrontational, victorious, and chock full of attitude.
