Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

100 Great Poems for Boys
by
Leslie Pockell

, February 14, 2011
Good Lord. Poetry is great. I learned to love poems on the edges of pages long before I was given my first anthology. This is appalling. I'm disgusted at the publisher for thinking it up, and I'm horrified that someone who presumably had a respect for a child's ability to enjoy verse was made to go along with it, no doubt by extreme penury. The notion of "Poems for girls" and "poems for boys" is *poisonous*. This anthology has rather fewer women writers than the pink anthology for boys, but in this instance even complaining that the choosing of the writers had a sexist bias is a secondary complaint beyond the awful, horrible, no-good, truly bad idea of encouraging kids to think of some poems as "for boys" and some "for girls".

The notion of "Poems for girls" and "poems for boys" is *poisonous*. This anthology has a fraction more women writers than the blue anthology for boys, but in this instance even complaining that the choosing of the writers had a sexist bias is a secondary complaint beyond the awful, horrible, no-good, truly bad idea of encouraging kids to think of some poems as "for boys" and some "for girls".
