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.
