Summary: The best collection of love poetry currently in print
Comment: As a teacher, I loved this book. It puts in one place most of the world's greatest love poems, from the ancient Greeks and Romans up until the present day. There are substantial selections from Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Donne, Marvell, and on and on. It contains both extremes of e.e. cummings' love poetry, from the raunchy "may I feel said he" to the sublimely romantic "somewhere i have never travelled." For longtime collectors of anthologies, at one point in time this was the Penguin Book of Love Poetry. I've never particularly cared for Stallworthy's organization, as he splits the poems up into emotional moods, like "Declarations" and "Celebrations," since my own bent is to the chronological and cultural organizational methods, but they may please people looking for a set of moods. Unless situations have changed since the year 2000, this is the only really good collection of love poetry in print. There are others, but none have the breadth and depth of this one. A must-have for lovers of poetry, for poets in love, and for lovers looking for inspiration.
