This wasn't my favourite Penguin Modern Poets yet, but it did remind me that I do really, really need to read Citizen by Claudia Rankine, which was excerpted here and which was one of the few poems in the collection I actually really loved.

I bought this because I loved the beautiful edition, and knew I would enjoy the Maggie Nelson and Claudia Rankine poems, but wow, what a great introduction to Denise Riley.
