Gr 8 Up--Each of these volumes in a projected set includes 22 poems frequently studied in literature courses. Most are 19th- and 20th-century English-language classics (e.g., Frost's "The Road Not Taken," Hughes's "Harlem," and Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn") as well as a few 17th- and 18th- century poems (e.g. Blake's "The Tyger"). In addition, there are poems by eight women, seven African Americans, and one Native American. These volumes provide a wealth of analytical and historical information in a clear, concise and easy-to-use format. Each entry consists of an overview of the poem and the poet's life, a black-and-white photograph or portrait, the complete text of the poem (although one poem is missing--Gwendolyn Brooks's "The Sonnet-Ballad"), a line-by-line discussion of its meaning, a summary of the themes, analysis of style and technique, a brief essay putting the poem into historical and cultural context, signed critical essays, and lists of sources for further study. Many entries also include topics to compare and contrast, a bibliography, a listing of media adaptations, and study questions. A minor drawback is the lack of line numbers accompanying the selections. Cumulative author/title and nationality/ethnicity indexes and a subject/theme index specific to each volume are also included. Similar to Masterplots II: Poetry Series (Aperture, 1992) in purpose, these initial volumes are at this point naturally less comprehensive and international in scope. However, this set is more accessible, and will not only be extremely useful for assignments, but also may very well spark a love of poetry.
