Solonche started placing poems in magazine, journals, and anthologies in the early 70s, his first book of poetry, \u003cem\u003ePeach Girl: Poems for a Chinese Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e, co-written with his wife, did not appear until 2002 and his own first collection, \u003cem\u003eBeautiful Day\u003c\/em\u003e, not until 2015. Just this March, Years Later, his twenty-second book, was published. That's a lot of books, too many for most readers to buy. But they don't have to. They can buy just one. It's his twenty-third. \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems: 2002 - 2021\u003c\/em\u003e is a generous offering of his favorite poems from most of those books, including the two nominated for the Pulitzer Prize\u003cem\u003e, Invisible\u003c\/em\u003e (2017) and \u003cem\u003ePiano Music\u003c\/em\u003e (2020) and the 2020 \u003cem\u003eShelf Unbound\u003c\/em\u003e Notable Indie Book, The Porch Poems. In her introduction to \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems: 2002-2021\u003c\/em\u003e, Grace Cavalieri says, \"The absolute best remark I can make about this book is that I would give it to non-readers of poems as a conversion to poetry, for its language is as available as rain; hopeful as sunshine; and fresh as the wind. It's a perfect book to let the reading public know that this is America's poetry. This is a serious book disguised as playfulness, and we are its lucky recipients.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJ.R.
