Coach House's self-indulgent little anthology, This Is My Best, does not deserve an extensive review, but the disservice done to the poets who are included in it warrants some publicity.

Bookstores specializing in out-of-print items may feel done out of a good thing, but readers of poetry, students of American literature, and Thoreau specialists and enthusiasts will be delighted that this edition of Thoreau's poems and poetic fragments, first published in 1943 but long unavailable, has been brought back in print in an expanded form.
