Classic Poetry: An Illustratd Collection

by Michael Rosen and Paul Howard

Classic Poetry: An Illustratd Collection Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An ideal gift book for children and adults, this beautiful keepsake volume is the essential collection of classic poetry.

Poetry provides the best introduction to the marvels of the English language. This volume, collected by award-winning author Michael Rosen, presents a glorious selection of classic poetry, chronologically arranged from the seventeenth century to modern day — poems by such celebrated poets as William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Emily Dickinson, Carl Sandburg, and Langston Hughes — complete with biographical sketches of the poets, information on individual poems, and notes on poetic forms. Paul Howard's full-color illustrations illuminate some of the most brilliant poems of the English-speaking world with stunning breadth and beauty. A book to be treasured, Classic Poetry belongs on every shelf — every child should know these poems and keep this book with them as they grow.

Review:

"Rosen also provides notes about the poems, notes on poetry and an index to first lines and titles. His collection is wonderful for students, homeschoolers, and poetry lovers of all ages." Children's Literature

Review:

"Somewhat eclectic in its selection, this collection is an inviting, durable introduction to a broad range of poetry." School Library Journal
