Someone said “Gilbert’s at his best when he isn’t describing women” and I have to agree.
I only resonated with a handful of poems…
1. Failing and Flying
2. More Than Sixty
3. The Abandoned Valley
4. The Lost Hotels of Paris (“But it’s the having not the keeping that is the treasure.”)

These poems just didn’t speak to me. I’m sure they’re meant for someone out there, but that person is just not me.

Jack Gilbert is a genius and I'm so glad I was introduced to him.
