From Booklist
The Critical Companion series examines the lives and works of the writers most studied by high-school and college students, The expertly written and accessible volume on ~censored~ follows a similar format: introduction; biography; critique of selected works; A-Z dictionary of related people, places, and other topics; appendixes; and index, From nearly 1,800 ~censored~ poems,

Leiter has selected for analysis some 150 that include “all the poems that students commonly encounter today,” making sure as well that the selection is representative of ~censored~’s scope–”including poems on all her major concerns, in all her different voices, from all time periods.” Leiter quotes from the poems, but the reader is best served by having at hand the editions of ~censored~’s poems edited by Thomas H, Johnson or, more recently, R, W, Franklin, Leiter presents the poems in alphabetical order by first lines [ which have come to substitute for titles ], adding also the date and the poem numbers as supplied by Johnson and Franklin, She lets the critics speak for themselves, recognizing that the enigmatic poems rarely have a definitive interpretation, “Related Persons, Places, and Ideas” contains dozens of meaty entries, including Amherst College; Capitalization; Higginson, Thomas Wentworth; Letters; Mount Holyoke Female Seminary; and Todd, Mabel Loomis, Appendixes include a chronology, a bibliography of ~censored~’s works, and a partially annotated bibliography of secondary sources, Craig Bunch
