Love Poems of Elizabeth and Robert Browning
AuthorElizabeth Barrett Browning

Wow, I adored these poems. They were beautiful. Robert and Elizabeth had such a fascinating and beautiful love story and their poetry definitely reflects that.

All that I know
Of a certain star
Is, it can throw
(Like the angled spar)
Now a dart of red,
Now a dart of blue,...

Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Poems
AuthorEdgar Allan Poe
Două steluţe din pricina faptului că am citit poemele în română, iar eu ştiu un lucru: poezia nu se poate traduce! Eminescu este un mare poet doar pentru români; Eminescu tradus în franceză ar semnifica o idee lirică, dar nu ar transmite aceeaşi stare pe care o transmite autohtonilor.
Desigur,...
Selected Poems
AuthorThomas Hardy
ISBN0140436995
Although I have read several of his novels, this is the first time I have read Thomas Hardy's poetry and, as it does in all of its collections, Dover has gathered a selection from throughout his writing career. What struck me throughout my reading was the almost ever-present sadness. There were some poems...
Selected Poems
AuthorD.H. Lawrence
ISBN0140585400
Lawrence wrote nearly 1,000 poems during a short lifetime in which he was also astonishingly prolific in other spheres - fiction, travel writing, essays, criticism, letters and plays. Lawrence was not simply a novelist who dabbled in other forms. His characteristic vision informed everything he...
The Complete English Poems
AuthorGeorge Herbert
ISBN0140424555
George Herbert combined the intellectual and the spiritual, the humble and the divine, to create some of the most moving devotional poetry in the English language. His deceptively simple verse uses the ingenious arguments typical of seventeenth-century 'metaphysical' poets, and unusual imagery...
Selected Poems
AuthorJohn Donne
ISBN0486277887
Considered by many critics the foremost English "metaphysical" poet, John Donne (1572–1631) earned renown for both sacred and secular verse, his love poems in the latter genre ranking among his most original and popular works. Brilliant and wide-ranging, Donne's verse is distinguished by its...
Complete Poems and Translations
AuthorChristopher Marlowe
ISBN0143104950
The poetry gets five stars, but the edition only gets two. With modernized spelling but no notes or context, Marlowe's translations of Ovid's Elegies and of Lucan's First Book are especially difficult to understand. This slim, inexpensive book (Dover Thrift Editions) might be useful if you already...
Selected Poetry
AuthorPercy Bysshe Shelley
ISBN0140585044
In the pantheon of English poets, Shelly has long occupied a lofty place, his poems as admired for their profound thought and subtle perceptions as for the music and fervor of their language. His life as well as his poetry embraced the passions, ideals and causes of Romanticism, whose emergence and early...
Selected Poems
AuthorRobert Burns
ISBN0140423826
My review is on "Selected Poems" by Robert Burns (I noticed the description stated Frost but my ISBN matched their image of the book; my cover is different as it shows Robert Burns as painted by Alexander Nasmyth). I had picked up this book while visiting Scotland several years back and it was a good read...
Complete Poems
AuthorChristina Rossetti
ISBN0140423664
Rossetti is unique among Victorian poets for the sheer range of her subject matter and the variety of her verse form. This collection brings together fantasy poems, such as Goblin Market, and terrifyingly vivid verses for children, love lyrics and sonnets, and the vast body of her devotional poetry....

Selected Poems
AuthorW.B. Yeats
ISBN0753816652
"All things can tempt me from this craft of verse: "
"One time it was a woman's face, or worse-"
"The seeming needs of my fool-driven land;"
"Now nothing but comes readier to the hand"
"Than this accustomed toil."
"--"From" All Things Can Tempt Me"
Nobel Prize winner W.B. Yeats...
Poems of Passion
AuthorElla Wheeler Wilcox
ISBN1846376289
2016 Reading Challenge Category: A book of poetry.

I first discovered Ella Wheeler Wilcox's Poems of Passion on my grandparents' shelf many years ago. Now the book sits on my shelf. I love that I have a book from 1883 in my home. I love that it has passed through so many hands. (There's a handwritten...

He is best known for his visionary poetry ('Kubla Khan') and his ballads ('The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'), but he used and transformed a variety of verse...
Complete Poems and Selected Letters
AuthorJohn Keats
ISBN0375756698
'I think I shall be among the English Poets after my death,' John Keats soberly prophesied in 1818 as he started writing the blankverse epic Hyperion. Today he endures as the archetypal Romantic genius who explored the limits of the imagination and celebrated the pleasures of the senses but suffered...
