Many times people have asked me for poems to use at a wedding ... Well, here's a new book of contemporary poems for just that purpose: Proposing on the Brooklyn Bridge: Poems About Marriage, Ed. Ginny Lowe Connors.On Amazon you can take a look at the Table of Contents:

The book is categorized into seven thematic sections: Beginnings, Ourselves and Others, Together, Apart, Endings, The Shape of a Marriage, and Looking Back. It includes poetry by Richard Wilbur, Jane Hirshfield, Wendell Berry, Sharon Olds, Stephen Dunn, Marge Piercy, and Donald Hall. And notably, as Stanley Kunitz is celebrating his 100th birthday soon, the anthology ends with Kunitz's "Touch Me."
