Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are the greatest poems of the Early 21th Century as determined by a consensus of the author's alter egos. The most obscure fictional critics who appear in the pages of the Great American Novel have in their machinations also lent tacit-ephemeral, imaginary praise to this magnificent tome of verse. Alice says strat-tea-tackfully, every poem must have a pie thrown at it to lend it color and flavor, but/ There are rumbles in the world where every blade of grass cries, and as we run through it, it tries to comb the hair of our sorrows. Comb through these pages, and grow, or glow -- whichever comes first
