Publisher's Synopsis
When Joan Duce was asked to compile an anthology of favourite poems, the results were so far-reaching that she consulted with friends and contemporaries. Soon she was receiving enthusiastic phonecalls, and spending much time leafing through treasured volumes. The result is a compendium of what many will recognise as their favourite poems. It includes such authors as Rupert Brooke, Byron, Rudyard Kipling, Wilfred Owen, and Edward Lear, and poems that range from great lovesongs including THE SONG OF SOLOMON, Shakespeare's sonnets and Sidney's MY TRUE LOVE HATH MY HEART, narrative poems such as Leigh Hunt's ABOU BEN ADHEM, metaphysical poems, and humour. With 118 poems, personal favourites are sure to be included.
