Love Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series) Hardcover – November 2, 1993

I have purchased and read numerous copies of “Everyman’s library pocket poets” over the years. I recently bought this 256 page hardcover edition of “Love Poems” selected and edited by Peter Washington. The wonderful book has selections from poets of the past and contemporary poets. This book is organized into the following topic areas:Definitions and persuasions, love and poetry, praising the loved one, pleasures and pains, fidelity and inconstancy, absence, estrangement and parting, and love past. This unique collection has some of the most beautiful and enduring love poems I have ever read. All the most famous and loved poets are included in this book of love poems. The most quoted writer of all time William Shakespeare, the legendary Emily Dickinson, the dark and brooding Edgar Allan Poe, one of the most read poets Robert Frost and numerous other great poets have selections in this collection. These love poems are from poets around the world which makes it a must have volume for your own personal library collection of poetry books.If you love poetry this is a must collection of “Love Poems” you will want to own. This short review cannot do justice to this wonderful volume.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Haiku Moments: How to read, write and enjoy haiku).

Fast Service

I've had this after about three years

Poetry lovers will find some less familiar beauties among the cherished ones.

This came in a timely manner and in good condition. I am not in love with the selection of poems however. It wasn't what I expected but that is not the fault of the seller.

This bookwas much smaller than I expected (my own fault and not necessarily a flaw) but it is filled with wonderful, wonderful love poems. I keep it on my coffee table for whenever I feel the whim to read a poem and I've read quite a few in this book. They picked some very good poems from a broad array of poets.

Love this book! Super romantic and it’s a great Valentine’s idea

A very nice collection of love poems in a cute little book. I got it for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day and he loved it.
