One Hundred and One Famous Poems: With a Prose Supplement by Roy Jay Cook

3.0

I picked up a copy of the 1958 edition from a used bookstore ages ago and just recently cracked it open. I'm glad I did! While I was disappointed to see this collection is overwhelmingly white, male, American, and Christian (I mean it was first published in 1916 so I shouldn't be too surprised really), there are quite a few gems in here. I found new authors I love, and some I honestly hate. This book helped me figure out what I like and don't care for in poetry. I starred some favorites and I know I'll revisit them.

It's hard to rate a collection, but 3 stars = I liked it.
