Best book of criticism,
By A Customer
This review is from: HERESY AND THE IDEAL ON CONTEMPORARY POETRY (Paperback)
This is the best book of criticism I have read in a long time. Baker writes in an intelligent voice, but accessible voice, about other poets and their works. What you will learn from this book is how to think critically about poetry and if you are a poet, how to think critically about your own poetry. He doesn't hold back with his praise or criticism and when poems/books aren't up to snuff, he tells you and gives you some good reasons why. Read it, if you love poetry and love an intelligent mind and eloquent voice (and if you're tired of stodgy overly intellectualized criticism).

The Smoothness of David Baker,
By David (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HERESY AND THE IDEAL ON CONTEMPORARY POETRY (Paperback)
I enjoy David Baker's newest book of poetry because it brings the natural world to life. So often in nature, contemporary authors have a difficult time conveying their feelings to others about what they have seen or felt whether they are outside or on the farm. Baker shows us what actually goes on in the world around us. Not just what we see through our eyes. He brings us the smells, the sensations on the backs of our necks, and the feelings we get when the horses are the only ones who we can talk to. Get it! Read it!
