| 1. | ![]() | The Prophet
from Knopf
Customer Review:
I usually don't like getting books that I did not ask for. When someone buys a book for me, there is a certain obligation to actually read it, but doing so takes away time from the books I really want to read. There are so many books on my reading list and so little time to read them all that... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Letters to a Young Poet
from Dover Publications
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
There are works that surface time and time again in cultural circles, in film, literature, music, etc. One of these is Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. The young poet, Franz Xaver Kappus, is unremarkable in this set of letters as we never see the poems he sent to Rilke, nor do we see... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | The Norton Anthology of Poetry
from W. W. Norton
Price: $37.89
Customer Review:
It was not clear when I selected this book on line that it was the shorter version of the 5th edition. Since I am using this for assigned readings in a poetry course, none of the assigned pages are relevant and about 20% of the assigned poems are not in the shorter version, both of which... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
If you enjoy reading or writing poetry or if you don't understand poetry and want to gain a better understanding, read this book. Reading the book is much like reading poetry, for it is much more than a book about poetry; it comes from the heart of a poet and describes the art she loves so well. It... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Good Poems
from Viking Adult
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
I've always enjoyed Keillor's "Writer's Almanac", a five minute PBS program that comes on at 9am where I live. GK's trademark soothing voice, a homey-type poem, historical tidbits and birthdays of literary figures: a little food for thought to start the day. "Good Poems" is an anthology of 433 pages... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Making of a Poem: A Norton Anthology of Poetic Forms
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
Being fairly new to poetry, I purchased this book as an introduction to poetic forms, and it does not disappoint. The authors have cultivated a fantastic guide to many of the more popular forms of the modern era, and a few less popular forms. I found the chapters on the Villanelle and on Blank Verse... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
