Perhaps the focus and quality of Poetry 180 is best summed up in poet laureate Billy Collins' only poem in this anthology. In reference to poetry as taught in high school, he concludes, "I want them to waterski / across the surface of a poem / waving at the author's name on the shore. / But all they want to do / is tie the poem to a chair with rope / and torture a confession out of it. / They begin beating it with a hose / to find out what it means."

"Most cowboy poems speak of real events and people, from bucking horses and cagey cows to old Stetson hats and long winter travels. Although they focus on the ordinary stuff of life, their truths . . . seem no less eternal than those penned by William Shakespeare. Some cowboy poems are but-a-gut funny; a few are downright dirty . . . most carry an honest, primitive power."

A number of editorial decisions prevent this collection from living up to its name. McClatchy, editor of The Yale Review, has decided to exclude "the extraordinary body of contemporary poetry in English," i.e., the work of poets from Britain, Ireland, the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealandon the grounds that this work is "more readily available." The collection does embrace, however, poems written in English by such poets as Derek Walcott and Wole Soyinka, for whom the language is, as McClatchy...

These poems are an eclectic mix, ranging from Sappho to Sylvia Plath, from W. H. Auden to the ninth-century Chinese poet Chu Chen Po. But each, in sixteen lines or less, has the power to enliven the quotidian, provide nourishment for the soul, and enchant even the youngest among us. With similar programs being generated in other U.S. cities, poetry, once marginalized, is available to a broad general audience, reaffirming its importance in our everyday lives.
