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.

Now a dart of red,
Now a dart of blue,...

The Collected Poems
AuthorSara Teasdale
ISBN1568493452
I love Sara Teasdale's poetry in small doses. If you read too much of it at once, though, it gets to be decidedly too much on the same theme.

This is the poem that introduced me to her work. I knew it by heart from that very first reading, and secretly (or not secretly, now), rather feel this way myself,...
The Blue Estuaries
AuthorLouise Bogan
ISBN0374524610
I found one truly memorable poem in the collection, a sharp observation transformed by a peculiar sensibility, a formula advocated elsewhere in the book but rarely followed. Even in this instance, the poem would have been better served if the last line had been removed.

Selected Poems
AuthorAlfred Tennyson

AuthorRalph Waldo Emerson
