The 100 Best Love Poems of All Time, by Leslie Pockell

5.0

I'm a bit surprised to see so many negative reviews! I'm not a big poetry fan but wanted to pick up some classic love poems as a good gateway into the genre. I found this collection to be really enjoyable and diverse (topically) for being about love, and want to grab my own copy to mark up.

I especially appreciated the editor's insight at the start of each poem, giving a basic explanation of the poem and some historical context to make it all the more impactful. It was very useful to poetry beginners like myself!
