I have that same book on my shelf, which I bought a few years after high school, probably because I'm a few years older than you are. I still love that book. I love all six of those poets and without even opening the book I can see the font and layout in my mind's eye, it is very pleasant reading and the paper is great too. I love that the poets are a real mix of styles and yet in each one there is some heart at the core that I connect with. Just as I somehow weirdly connect with haiku robot. ;-)
Last year my daughter borrowed my copy. She kept it too long (lots of my books end up more or less permanently in her room which is usually fine). I missed it and bought her own copy which now a different cover so I could keep that yellow cover on my bookshelf.

My kids both hate poetry, so far, but I haven’t given up hope ❤️
Brilliant! Thank you so much. As a fellow poet, I absolutely love the idea of stealing like a poet.
