During November and December No Tell contributors will recommend poetry books that would make fabulous gifts. Here are Jessy Randall's recommendations:
Kenneth Koch, The Art of the Possible (Soft Skull): Poetry comics -- what's not to love?
Jordan Davis, Million Poems Review (Faux Press): out of print, but available secondhand (try bookfinder.com). I believe Jordan Davis is referencing Frank O'Hara here, who said if you want to know about art, look at a million paintings.
Margaret Atwood, The Door (Houghton Mifflin): The title poem is fantastic.
