From Library Journal
Somewhere along the way those who decide such things decided that memorizing poems was not really important to education. Of course, it wasn't really. However, it was a pleasure, and generations of young people are growing up today without knowing it, which is a shame. Hollander (American Poetry, LJ 9/1/93) has selected 100 poems by poets?including lyrics and narratives, meditations and counsels?ranging from Blake and Hughes, Bishop and Thomas, to Yeats and Hayden . These are classics that lend themselves to memory, being short; often in form, or at least metrical; always rhythmic; and delightful. Most readers will find old favorites and new gems here. It is a fine collection?for browsing, for reading, and for committing to memory. Recommended.?Louis McKee, Painted Bride Arts Ctr., Philadelphia
