Poetry. "Matthew Thorburn's SUBJECT TO CHANGE gives us a poetry of the meta-empirical, asking, `It's not too late, is it?' Exuberant and crystalline, these poems articulate the problematic beauty of our grand mix-up, our new and comic Dark Ages. The next time a student asks me, `What's after Postmodernism?' I'll tell her, `Read this.'"--Angela Ball

The Best Collection of Poetry, Ever.,
This review is from: Subject to Change (New Issues Poetry & Prose) (Paperback)
This is quite possibly the best collection of poems I've ever read. It is far more diverse than the Norton Anthology, and much more portable. This should be recommended reading in classrooms all over the world.
