Pocket Book of Poetry (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)

by Various Authors

Overview

The sixty poems selected for Pocket Book of Poetry span more than four centuries and some rank among the greatest works of literature in the English language. Many are popular favorites and several represent the best works written by their authors, among them William Shakespeares sonnets, Samuel Taylor Coleridges "Kubla Khan," John Keats "Ode on a Grecian Urn," William Butler Yeats "The Second Coming," and Robert Frosts "The Road Not Taken."  Although some of these poems share themes and verse forms, each is a unique work unto itself. All suggest a world much greater than can be encompassed in their words, and the way in which they transport the reader to that realm is a large part of the pleasure that they offer. Pocket Book of Poetry is one of Barnes & Nobles Collectible Editions classics.
