Reflection on my book of poems

What I did best in putting together my book of poems is this: I went through all the poems and selected those I still own up to.   Had a bunch. Then I went through this assembly again and eliminated about half of them! So in my view, there's not a dud left in the book. That was my goal, at any rate. The book is like batting .400! The emphasis is not that I eliminated 60% but kept 40%.
