Neglected master,

This review is from: Anne Stevenson: Selected Poems (American Poets Project) (Hardcover)
I first came across Stevenson's poetry in Robert Richmond's THE DIRECTION IN POETRY and just recently came across this volume. Her poetry is direct and gets under the skin of both the subject and the reader. I hate to see her relegated to the level of a "neglected master." There's something vaguely insulting about that: she wrote brilliantly about Sylvia Plath and AS's own work is consistently focused and carefully written. If you are reading this, you already know that, and it's worth reading her selected works together under one cover.
