520    An anthology for new readers and poetry fans discusses the
       pleasures of reading poems and includes some two hundred 
       works by top contributors, providing accompanying 
       commentary by readers of various ages, regions, and 
       backgrounds. Poems To Read Is a welcoming avenue into 
       poetry for readers new to poetry, including high school 
       and college students. It is also meant to be a fresh, 
       valuable collection for readers already devoted to the 
       art. This anthology concentrates on the actual pleasures 
       of reading poems: hearing the poem in your voice, bringing
       it to other people, musing about it, taking excitement or 
       comfort from it, wandering with it or, as in the Keats 
       letter quoted in the Introduction, having it as a starting
       post. Many of these 200 poems are accompanied by comments 
       from readers of various ages, regions, and backgrounds who
       participated in the Favorite Poem Project. Included are 
       poems by John Donne, Walt Whitman, William Butler Yeats, 
       Langston Hughes, Elizabeth Bishop, Gwendolyn Brooks, 
       Seamus Heaney, Allen Ginsberg, and Louise Gluck, to name a
       few. The editors offer their own comments on some of the 
       poems, which are arranged in thematic chapters.
