The verse of over 50 writers and more than 65 poems are contained in this unique compilation.

If I were rating the poems by themselves: 5 stars.

Rating the audiobook however, it is more than fair to say that some of the readers were a little "creepy" in their readings. I just didn't connect with them. I'd highly recommend to purchase a book version of this rather than try to just listen on audio. Old British individuals may get your motor running (lol) but seriously it was distracting to me.

The poems are all lovely and well selected though.

Very risqué. Definitely a less know set of poetry
