The Classic Hundred Poems

by William Harmon

Here in one volume are the top one hundred poems, as determined by a survey of more than 1,000 anthologies - the poems in English most frequently anthologized, the poems with the broadest, most enduring appeal. With insights into the historical period in which each poem was written, the verse form used, and connections among poems, this is the ideal introduction to poetry, as well as a treasury for the dedicated reader.
