Table of ContentsReviews[Hall's] fascinating anthology will remain valuable, both as a source of the poems we once loved that have vanished from later collections, and as a fascinating and well-researched history of the form. --Alison Lurie, The New York Times Book Review Brings out the kid in any of us. --David Lehman, The Washington Post Book World I'll return to this book again and again, whether or not I have a child on my knee. --The Christian Science Monitor Excellent in every way....
