I’m British too (in that sense)… All who like poetry must be somewhat British! Even though I noticed belatedly that it was supposed to be Positivity week on ROL site. I think I clicked that box with my cheerful book endorsement.

The Minnesota poem was probably my favorite in the anthology. I looked up other poems by the author and was not equally moved- which speaks to your album-song distinction.

As to the 180 anthologies, I looked all over my house and couldn’t find either one. I did find Garrison Keillor’s GOOD POEMS, which has more older work than the Instagram anthology. But many good poems, as the title says!

Thank you for your fun response!!!

I love the Molly Brodak lines, and I'm intrigued by your reference to her chaotic life.
