Description

“Few anthologies for this age group include this sort of fine choice of works, introduce the poets so vividly, or provide this sort of wealthy number of haunting illustrations.” — BOOKLIST

Poetry provides the most efficient introduction to the marvels of the English language. This volume, collected by award-winning writer Michael Rosen, presents a glorious choice of classic poetry, chronologically arranged from the seventeenth century to brand new day—poems by such celebrated poets as William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Emily Dickinson, Carl Sandburg, and Langston Hughes— complete with biographical sketches of the poets, information on individual poems, and notes on poetic forms. Paul Howard’s full-color illustrations remove darkness from probably the most most brilliant poems of the English-speaking world with stunning breadth and beauty. A book to be treasured, Classic Poetry belongs on each and every shelf—each and every child will have to know these poems and keep this book with them as they grow.
Back matter includes notes on poems, notes about poetry, and an index of titles and first lines.
