[Sarah Spence · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this edition of poetry to be informative in the different styles of various poets, but I feel like there wasn't enough diversity. There are 100 poems, but only 28 authors. Certain poets, such as Yeats and Dickinson, had 10 poems in this book. Sylvia Plath's work wasn't shown once. I felt, as a fairly uninformed reader of poetry, like this book could have been better as a poetry sampler of 100 different poets. Mixed-author poetry books are difficult to read as they are, but having repeated authors can stigmatize the reading if their poetry is repetitive.

this has some spectacular poems in it. not as much variety as there could be, but what the hell, it's mostly Yeats and Dickinson because Yeats and Dickinson are the bomb. super pretty little book, wonderfully portable, just great to leave in my backpack and pull out whenever.
