Gr 6 UpPhilip has gathered American poetry that vividly comes together to ``define a nation'' in this eclectic anthology. The strength and clarity of McCurdy's woodcuts intensify that definition. Sandwiched between Walt Whitman's ``I Hear America Singing'' and Woody Guthrie's ``This Land Is Your Land'' are poems that give voice to immigrants, African Americans, Native Americans, the poor, migrant workers, miners, pioneers, and myriad others that make up this nation. There are oft-heard verses, but the less well-known works create the attraction here. The collection celebrates the contributions of different groups; relates the suffering inflicted by nature or one ethnic group on another; and just talks about a Sunday walk, or the wonders of ice cream and peaches. The uncluttered presentation allows for readers' absorption in each offering. There is ample opportunity for choral reading and reading aloud. The book's theme echoes that of America Forever New (Crowell, 1968; o.p.), compiled by Sara and John E. Brewton, but Philip goes beyond that title.

This wonderfully vital and inclusive anthology captures the spirit of America. Poems by the public Walt Whitman and the private Emily Dickinson -- 'two dominant traditions [that] are really just two sides of the same coin' -- are augmented by those of Langston Hughes, Allen Ginsberg, Adrienne Rich, William Carlos Williams, and many others, as well as by a host of traditional American songs and poems. The vigorous illustrations are a perfect complement. Bib., ind. From HORN BOOK 1995, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Kirkus评论
An astounding array of poems about the American identity, representing the events and attitudes that have helped shape a unique history, by the compiler of Fairy Tales from Eastern Europe (1991). War, race, injustice, the American language and landscape all inspire deeply felt emotions, from fierce patriotism to fiery outrage. ``The Battle Hymn of the Republic'' co-exists with e.e. cummings' ``heroic happy dead.'' Walt Whitman sings America, and Langston Hughes, Ezra Pound, and Allen Ginsberg sing Walt Whitman. There's John Greenleaf Whittier's brave ``Barbara Frietchie,'' and Ogden Nash's Barbara Frietchie, who ``. . .scratched/When she was itchy.'' The selections are diverse, incisive, and crisply written; some feature McCurdy's sturdy images, carved in black against the white page, more decoration than scenery, and mutely leaving readers to fall upon the poems with their own interpretations intact. In art and word, the America that emerges is compelling in all its contradictions. (further reading, indices of first lines, titles, subject, and poets) (Poetry. 10-14)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 7-12. Like Celebrate America: In Poetry and Art, edited by Nora Panzer (1994), this spaciously designed anthology brings together great poems that express the diversity of the American experience through history. In a fine introduction, Philip traces two dominant influences who broke with polite literary tradition and wrote with the urgency of the speaking voice: the very public Whitman (who encouraged poets "to speak up and speak out" ) and the very private Dickinson (for whom a poem was "perhaps, a message in a bottle" ). The selections show an American tradition that is multicultural but not homogeneous ("Shove your old pot," says Dudley Randall of his exclusion from the melting pot). However, some of the language may be considered insensitive by contemporary standards. There are folk songs and traditional poems (from "Jesse James" to "No More Auction Block" ) and many old favorites (Sandburg's "Chicago," Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" ), but Philip has also included some wonderful old and new poems that are less commonly anthologized. McCurdy's bold, beautiful woodcuts, many depicting people at work, extend the energy and individuality of the words. --Hazel Rochman
