Brilliant and tragic, decadent yet radical, a socialist dandy and a witty moralist, Oscar Wilde embodied all the contradictions of the 1890s. The scope of his genius is indicated in this volume by the inclusion of the period’s most scintillating comedy – The Importance of Being Earnest; its most...
Collected Poems
AuthorPatrick Kavanagh
ISBN0393006948
I was introduced to Kavanagh’s work through several quotations in Christian Wiman’s My Bright Abyss: Meditation of a Modern Believer. Those lines convinced me I had to seek out Kavanagh’s poetry.

Poems 1968-1998
AuthorPaul Muldoon
ISBN0374528446
"Ireland"
The Volkswagen parked in the gap,
But gently ticking over.
You wonder if it's lovers
And not men hurrying back
Across two fields and a river.

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).

AuthorRobert Frost
As I read more poetry, I'm starting to appreciate how little I appreciate it -- or at least the narrative form. I don't understand the point of narrative poetry. Why not just write a story? The point of these "verses" would make more sense in paragraphs.
As far as I can tell (granted, I only lasted 61...
