5.0 out of 5 stars It's between Frost and Crane, 23 Mar 1999
By A Customer
The other reviews say it well. Crane is compact and wonderful. HOWEVER, I cannot emphasize Crane's importance to poetry enough. Although Frost is likely the most important american poet in terms of popularity, Crane set up a dynamic for non-metered poetry which was unprecedented. This is the first example (to my best knowledge) of a conscious effort to move poetry towards it's current incarnation of compact/truncated prose. Adherents to meter dismiss rap, etc... as non-poetic forms....but, I believe they are wrong. These are not prose poems. They are poems. Very concise. Very lucid. Unlike my review....

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Ideas in Small Packages, 4 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Stephen Crane's poetry comes off as a cross between Kabir and Sharon Olds. It's gritty, often harsh, and so compressed that I marvel at Crane's ability to express so much emotion in a few lines. This poetry is all about survival, despair, and a few hard knocks in life .... You won't find many authors tackling the topics that Crane writes about. I turn to this book when I want to get a fresh look at life stripped down to the bones. Highly recommended ... but mix it with something sweet, like a book of love poems, or something by Rumi.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best little blade of grass.
Crane shows a wonderful grasp of human dignity amid great trial. His fictional Red Badge of Courage hints at his genious for converting misery into noble precepts; but in War Is... Read more
