POETRY FOR PLEASURE

A by no means commonplace collection of poetry from the personal, pleasureable point of view -- not as ""an intellectual obligation"". From Homer and the Bible to the greats and not so great, with a strong modern section. More known than unknown, but with great variety and representation. A book which may well help counteract the general ""estrangement"" of the public from poetry.
