Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is America's best poet with a true insight on home.
Review: Edger Guest makes you feel the love of family and the true appretiation of poetry. His poems are easy reading and enlightening. Wether you are falling in love with his wife or chasing kids through the day you will somehow relate. I highly recomend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Superb!
Review: I have an older copy of this book and I find it to be the most interesting poetic book I have ever encountered. The book was property of my belated grandfather and it means the world to my entire family. I find that he shows a wonderful view of all the points in life that we come in contact with. I recommend this book to anyone with an open view of life because this book is the life of a very talented man. He shows all aspects of situations and feelings that we all go through in life.

Summary: An old favorite remembered
Review: I was given a book of Edgar A. Guest's poetry as a birthday present when I was a kid . . . it doesn't seem like it could be that long ago, but it is. He has remained my favorite poet. He's not fancy, doesn't use free verse, or symbolism --- which is exactly why, forty years after first being introduced to this poet, I still sit down from time to time just to browse through a book of poems by Edgar A. Guest just for the sheer joy of reading his poetry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ...printers should be dumped
Review: The poetry in the book was great, the binding less thanexpected. The paper was of poor quality and the print was hard toread, very faint print and missing some letters. Appeared to have beenprinted in someones garage with a cheap printer. The ...printing was listed as printing the book. ...should hang theirheads in shame!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This collection is a joy to read.
Review: This is a fine collection of down-home poetry. I recommend this work to everyone who enjoys reading poetry but does not enjoy deciphering it to find hidden meanings. Most of the poems recount fond memories of childhood and everyday family life. They are sentimental, optimistic and at times spiritual. The entire collection is easy to read and very enjoyable.
