From Publishers Weekly

Poetry is a regular feature on Garrison Keillor's NPR radio show A Prairie Home Companion, but for the last five years, it has formed the core of The Writer's Almanac, a daily, five-minute, 7 a.m. show on which Keillor reads a poem. Good Poems selects 350 pieces of verse from among the thousands that have been read on the Almanac for "Stickiness, memorability.... You hear it and a day later some of it is still there in the brainpan." Divided by subject-beginning with "O Lord," moving through "Day's Work," "Sons and Daughters" and through to "The End" and "The Resurrection"-the book includes work by writers past (Burns, Dickinson, Bishop, Williams, Shakespeare) and present: Robert Hass, Lisel Mueller, Tom Disch, among many others.

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School-Keillor, host of the PBS radio show A Prairie Home Companion, has put together a collection of close to 300 poems he has read during yet another PBS broadcast, The Writer's Almanac. In an amusing introduction, he shares his thoughts on what makes a good poem. It's no big surprise that he purports to dislike literary works that, to him, smack of pretentiousness. A few selections openly poke fun at certain kinds of literature ("A Bookmark") or humorously defend humble things ("The Iceberg Theory"). Poems are arranged by 19 general themes, such as "Snow," "Failure," and "A Good Life." Authors range from well-known oldies like Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost to unknowns like C.K. Williams, who "played college basketball and lived for many years in Philadelphia." A delightful section at the end of the book offers biographical sketches of the featured authors. Keillor's choices lean heavily toward works that tell a good story or paint a tangible picture. Alongside poems with bucolic scenery are plenty of selections about everyday emotions and relationships. An outstanding feature of this collection is that the selections are all so accessible-even folks who say they don't like poetry can find something here to enjoy.

2.0étoiles sur 5 an unremarkable book, Aoû 22 2007
Par Brian Frank "blindvision" (Victoria, B.C.) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
As I leisurely read through this compilation over the summer I was struck it's lack of impact on my mind, heart, or soul. If even one or two poems would have touched me I'd consider myself fortunate but no such fortune here.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Title Says it All, Jui 11 2004
Par Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" (Hayward, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I don't normally read poetry. It's one genre I'm very ignorant about but I like Garrison Keillor's story telling and figured I might like the same type of poetry he likes. I was right! Although I didn't enjoy every single one (and who can expect to in a compillation of more than four hundred pages) but I did enjoy or take meaning away from enough of them to count this book as a page turner.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Better "Good" than "Best", Mai 27 2004
Par Un client
Keillor's title seems intended to suggest a contrast with the "Best American Poetry" series, and what a contrast it is! Whereas BAP routinely and inexplicably celebrates dreck (it's a scandal how many terrific poems it excludes in favor of the mediocre and that most banal of banalities, the avant-garde), Keillor's anthology is full of readable, memorable, enjoyable poems--poems that can honestly be said to be _valuable_. How refreshing it is, too, to see poems by the likes of Lisel Mueller and Robert Morgan, poets whose work has long been highly lauded but who nevertheless get overlooked by most anthologists. Rita Dove may be right to complain about the small number of minority voices (see her letter in the June/July 2004 issue of Poetry magazine), but this is still the best general-interest poetry anthology to come along since Czeslaw Milosz's BOOK OF LUMINOUS THINGS.
