3.0

I read this because "poetry" was a category I needed to mark off on a reading challenge for the year.

As poetry goes, it was OK. It's a nice collection of standards, many I've read before, some new. I appreciated the chronological arrangement and short explanations of why the author was included.

Overall, I'm not a huge fan of poetry and this didn't change that.
