Book Reviews of Great Short Poems (Dover Thrift Editions)
Book Review: The short poem
Summary: 5 Stars
This anthology contains many of the finest ' short poems' ever written. It is of course one of tens of such anthologies in which these great works are presented to the reader. What strikes me always in reading them, or rereading them is how much beauty and goodness can be given in a few short lines.
A short poem presents an opportunity to the reader to not simply read the poem, but to go over and over it , and finally memorize it. Then that poem the reader takes with them everywhere. It becomes part of oneself. And those lines are there for whatever time in life one may need them.
This anthology contains just to mention a few Dylan Thomas ' Do not Go Gentle into that Good Night' the "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day" sonnet of Shakespeare, " Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening " of Frost, and many other poems which are part of the collective poetic consciousness of the English reading world.
Whether in this anthology, or in others like it, or in the collected poems of the respective poets, these poems are there and available to us all.
How lucky and blessed we are.
