I have so enjoyed Robert Pinsky's selections, analysis, commentary, and quiet passion for poetry (Pinsky's farewell column, Poet's Choice, Book World, Feb. 24). Thanks to him, I have been introduced to literature I would never have found on my own. Book World is the best part of the Sunday Post (along with Outlook) and Mr. Pinsky has become an essential part of my week. My only regret about his columns is that he had not yet discussed any of his own poems. Now it appears to be too late.
To paraphrase Pope (or Pinsky!), all I can say is, "They had no poet and . . . I wrote a letter."

Congratulations to Mary Karr for being our new leader of Poet's Choice (Karr's inaugural column, Poet's Choice, Book World, March 2). I am looking forward to the continuing insightful examination of poetry.
For me, Book World is the most important part of The Washington Post and the Poet's Choice column is the most important part of Book World.
