There is nothing in the language used in this anthology that would offend anyone who listens to the news or who walks the halls of a typical school.

Wonderful Language,
By A Reader (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Common Wealth: Contemporary Poets on Pennsylvania (Paperback)
There is nothing in the language used in this anthology that would offend anyone who listens to the news or who walks the halls of a typical school. But there's everything in this language to move us, as these poets look at the patchwork quilt landscape of Pennsylvania, from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, and all the farmlands and forests, coal mines and ballparks, rivers and mountains, hills and valleys in between. And what a rich and fertile landscape it is, diverse and multi-voiced: Mennonites and Moravians, steelworkers and coal miners, Polish and Slovak immigrants, African-Americans and Amish, railroad men and housewives, city dwellers and suburbanites. I've used these poems successfully in teaching poetry workshops. This collection is both accessible and good literature; this is work that lets you "hear America singing." (Whitman)
