Customer Reviews

My favorite poetry book, ever.....

I got this book 22 years ago as a teenager. I loved it and read it so often it fell apart. I need to buy another one. If I had to choose an all-time favorite book, this would be it.

simply wonderful

i discovered an old, beat up early 1900's copy of this at agarage sale and have since fallen in love with it. every possiblefamous poem from any genre can be found in it...plus, it is the only anthology to contain my favorite poem of all time, "the maniac" by george monk lewis.

Superb anthology of the older poetry

If you like pre-twentieth century English and American poetry you should like this volume. If you are looking for only one anthology of such poetry to buy, I would recommend this one.
