The poetry is excellent--they're best-loved poems because of their timeless qualities; but the Kindle book is lousy if you intend to browse for the right poem according to your mood. Like so many other Kindle books, it lacks an easy way to move around, no index, and poorly "linked" to allow you to pick and choose the right poem for the right occasion. Too bad, as the format is unworthy of the poems.
The Dover “One-Hundred Best Loved Poems†has resonances far beyond the poems on the page. If you read poems in school, reading these will bring back the words like distant, barely traceable memories. Most of these poems belong to the heritage of western culture, and even if you have not read the poem, or don’t remember reading it, you can trace the fine lines where the literary culture has borrowed, stolen or hijacked (all fairly) the words and meaning(s) of these poems.Take Yeats’s poem The Second Coming which has such memorable and well used lines as “things fall apart,†the title of Chinua Achebe’s celebrated novel, “the centre cannot hold†used in a variety of titles and contexts, mostly about mental illness and “slouches toward Bethlehem†used by Joan Didion in her famous series of essays about the rise and fall of the 60s.This is only one of 99 reasons to read this collection and get back in touch with some of the central poems of our tradition, and then move on to ever widening circles of poetry and its meaning.
As I had started to study poetry and had begun to write poetry again after a long hiatus I decided to buy this book as part of my study.The first poems are sonnets or romantic in nature, which I'm truly not, so I kind of slowly made my way through the book and then it changed in style of poetry and I found some absolute classics that are just brilliant. I found where the oft overused phrases in the English come from, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." an amazing poem about a poet's cat drowning in a fish bowl, and that despite "The Dead Poets Society" critique of Byron by John Keating (Robin Williams), Byron wrote some great poems.I think there is something for everyone in this book and I'm glad I bought it.
I think this is an excellent collection. A year ago I first bought 3 copies in Cork City, and decided to give it to our children in the States with a penciled "X" to my favourites in the table of contents. Then I created a folder of other favourites not in the book and added some literature-related things I had written during my 35-year teaching career. I gave it to them, and this Christmas to a bunch of others. I think it's good for kids and grandkids to have a collection of favourite pieces to explore, and it leaves something behind for them after I've left this world. Others may think of doing something similar.
A wonderful collection of classic and well known poetry by the great English poets whom folks from my ancient generation had to read, and often memorize. You'll recognize many of the words etched into the vocabulary of the English speaking world. It never ceases to amaze me of the depth of feelings these great poets had about life, heaven, hell, love etc.Every now and then it is refreshing to put down the heavy stuff and read a good poem or two.It will soothe your mind and rest your soul.Then you can go back to the heavy stuff of murder, mayhem, sex, violence and political corruption, knowing that at some time, someplace, somebody had better thoughts and shared them with us.
I got a BA in English from the University of North Carolina many years ago. Since then I have eschewed poetry. Therefore, it was delightful to find poems I have memorized and remember and lines so ubiquitous that I had forgotten the source. I skipped the long poems on my first run through. Just now I rediscovered Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" and am fantasizing it being recited by Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood, or Anthony Hopkins, or Jeremy Irons. It's a pleasure I never imagined.
Great value. I bought a classroom set to use in my high school English classroom. The variety of poems worked great for our unit and gave the students more experience with different types of poetry from a wide range of poets.
This is a volume that all poetry lovers will welcome. Dover Thrift Edition has put out some of the best classics in literature, and at a very modest price. This small but mighty book includes selections from some of the most well-known and best poets. The editor has chosen these poems from the middle ages to the 20th century.Some of the talented poets in this volume include Frost, Milton, Blake, Shakespeare, Longfellow, Houseman, Keats, Sandburg, Poe, Emerson, Yeats, Dickinson, Whitman, Kipling and many, many others. One of the things I personally love about this volume is the brief introduction on each of the poets. This gives the reader information that makes the poet come alive.In conclusion, if you love poetry, you will want this small volume in your library. If you are new to poetry, this book can serve as an excellent introduction to some of the greatest poets and their most loved poems.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.
