The 100 Best Poems of All Time Leslie Pockell 9780446676816 Books Reviews

So sincere
I bought this book for one special poem in it. I fell in love with it and now my granddaughter is using one of the poems in her wedding. The book was in great shape and service was awesome.
Love them they match my color scheme Lol !!
This was purchased as a Valentine's Day add on for my wife. She loves it!!!
Some great love poems - was hoping to find a reading for a wedding and wasn’t successful but I love poetry so it’s a nice book for the library.
i just feel that a collection like this tries to cover all the bases without truly understanding poetry. they've taken works out of context, from some eras of history, focusing on the period surrounding the 20th century, and suggest that every poetic work on love throughout time is contained within the pages of this book. i felt the editors were saying, "this is what and all that love is and can be."

some of the works selected are not the best by the author, which makes me feel that name recognition was more important than the actual piece. what is love? one should have asked. what is passion? can it be derived from words? can it leap off the page and beguile one with prose or verse? a siren, captivating one's gaze, so that eyes will never wander and only see the forthcoming words of fervor. does the piece make you feel what the author felt? does your body begin to exude the same such passion? can you taste the lips of the lover immortalized? does your world melt away and then become their world?

yes, some of these works have done this and some have just neatly arranged words and phrases. i wish this were more real and less like cliff notes. i understand that '100 love poems' is a buzz phrase and have probably promoted sales, but it should be more complete, with several from each author, delving into the heart of love and what it means to love. sometimes one cannot get there from here in a page or two. jump in with both feet and show me love.

love is an amazing thing. one can set out their whole life to find love and may only catch a glimpse of what it can be. love can alter one's persona, it can be all-consuming and it can even change the course of history. if only everyone could truly experience what it means to love, whole-heartedly. thinking and being comfortable are not attributes of love. love is, in all it's mystery, indescribable; so show me the way. lead me down the path so that i may see it, feel it and experience it first hand, even if i have never known it or called it friend. i want to live it vicariously through these letters and spaces. can a book do this citing randomly placed works over centuries of inspiration? in 100 pieces, it cannot. i've been left with an incurable taste in my mouth. only imbibing love's verses completely shall it be assuaged.

this book is nothing more than an introduction and should be treated as such, not a definitive collection. my suggestion to you is to read a more complete collection to truly know and feel what all these authors were actually meaning by LOVE.
Ah nothing better to give your sweetie. Nice collection of easy read poems. We love it.
