This is a fascinating book, as you follow Orwell's journey into his style and influences specifically with his poetry. There are some poems in this collection, where the editors are uncertain if they are written by Orwell or not. Contains a long essay which is interrupted by his poems.

Poetry really isn't my thing, and to be fair, I can't detect much difference in quality between this and for example the Robert Frost collection I read earlier this year. But by all accounts, Orwell wasn't much of a poet, and this is probably only worth it for Orwell completists (I'm not there yet, but getting there slowly, lol).
