Horrid.,
This review is from: More Light: Father & Daughter Poems: A Twentieth-Century American Selection (Paperback)
I picked up this book thinking it might contain some nice father-daughter poems. NOT! This is a very dark, dismall, depressing collection of "poetry". Many selections speak of death and poor father-daughter relationships. Not a nice book.
