A review by alyssabeth
Songs Of Ourselves by University of Cambridge

3.0

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.
