Title: Plethora of Poems
Review: A tome of poems thoughtfully organized by themes so the reader can immerse oneself in similar subject matter. Most of the poems would not be judged as esoteric but instead they tend to be accessible , i.e. writ large. Keep in mind this collection of 575 poems were written prior to their publication in 1936. Therefore the choice of words found in some of the poems represents English usage common before that year. Regardless the poems remain a source of literary work that captures the thoughts and spirit of the American people both then and now.

Title: I am enjoying this book
Review: I wanted to read more poetry and when I saw this option I thought it would be fun to get this. It is a great value to sample all kinds of poetry and poets. It is older of course, but I prefer the classical style of poetry.

Title: An absolutely fantastic collection of poems for anyone who loves poetry.
Review: I have loved good poetry most of my life. The only poetry form I really dislike is the so-called "Modern Free Verse" poetry which unfortunately, seems to be popular today. This amazing poetry collection (Best Loved Poems of the American People) is one of the best poetry volumes I have ever read. This giant 670 page tome is not a book that you would want to carry with you to read. This type of book belongs in your personal library where you can refer to it often when you desire to read poetry. This beautiful book covers a wide range of topics from all the great poetry masters.This book is organized into poetry topic areas which include the following: Love and Friendship, Inspiration, Poems that tell a story, Faith and Remembrance, Home and Mother, Childhood and Youth, Patriotism and War, Humor and whimsey, Memory and Grief, Nature, Animals and various themes. There are hundreds of fantastic poems in this collection and I am sure it will have some of your favorite poems included as well.In conclusion, if you love poetry this giant book is for you.Rating: 5 Stars.
