I enjoyed this selection of short stories, especially "Soft Rains".

I had to read this anthrology of poems, as well as Stories of Ourselves, for my 11th grade lit class. It wasn't bad, but, eh, it could've been better. The poems consisted mostly of Elizabethan authors, some historically famous and some relatively unknown, but I really thought that it was lacking in diversity. The themes repeated themselves over and overrr: unrequited love, life and death, betrayal, ya da ya da ya da. Good school reading, but I'd rather read something else.

Yeah, same case with everyone here. I read this book as part of my literature course. The poems are so diverse..it's written by authors from every part of the world and at different eras. There are poems about love, life, observations and changes. If you think that only love poems exist, then this book will prove you wrong.
