[.ca] Great Love Poems (ISBN 0486272842)

Great deal for the Price:
This book has love poems by every poet you can think of and some you wont. I would say you should own this even if you dont enjoy love poems, it can only come in handy. All around great stuff and there is even a drinking song in side.

Good:
I am giving this collection five stars because is a wonderful collection for its price. Dover really does put out some great books for around a dollar. This collection has all of the usual love poems which appear in every love anthology like Shakespeare's "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day," Jonson's "To Celia," Browning's "How Do I Love Thee," and Poe's "Annabel Lee." The thing that impressed me about this collection were some of the little-known poems which did find their way into this book. I've always loved the poems of Thomas Campion, Thomas Moore, Walter Savage Landor, and John Clare, and each had a number of poems in the book. Any lover of love poems should buy this anthology. It is easily worth the dollar it takes to buy it. I would also recommend the anthology "Love Poems" selected and edited by Peter Washington for Everyman Library for anyone who wants to buy a collection of love poems.

Good read from many greats:
I would not consider myself a big fan of poetry, in fact this is the first book of poetry I've ever read. But I would highly recommend this book because it contains many classic love poems and authors. There are many poems in this little collection that will move anyone who has experienced love.

Good Read:
This book has some of the best love poems ever written in it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Love poems or wants to see a really good collection for the price. Also Recommended: Quotes, Poems, and Words That Flow by Kevin Grommersch

As good as a collection of Love Poems gets:
I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend a few years ago. There are some excellent poems, especially Browning and Shakespeare. I did find out by reading this poetry collection that I'm just not a big fan of love poetry. All the best is here, but except for four or five poems, it just doesn't move me. If you are a lover of romantic poetry however, you can scarcely go wrong with this collection. It contains all the classics and many more. The price is just right too, obviously not published by someone out to make money, but by someone who wanted to share the poetry.
