Synopses & Reviews
“Spacious format; a wide variety of poems; and colorful, interpretive illustrations.”—
School Library Journal
“The format is admirable: a handsome sampler of poems, with a short introductory essay, unfamiliar words briefly defined in footnotes, and a few prefatory sentences for each poem to establish context and aid interpretation.”—Kirkus Reviews

More than twenty of his poems are brought to a new generation of readers with colorful illustrations and easy-to-understand notes that will encourage the enjoyment and appreciation of a great talent. Selections include the famous, spine-tingling "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee."
