Leaned too heavily on English Romantics and Shakespeare; I would have liked to see more variety than several poets included several times. Some poems were longer than memorizable-in-a-day as promised, but otherwise a great collection that introduced me to some lovely work.

Good collection, I found several new to me poems that I liked. The book had a good mix of old and new poetry!

Very nice. Read them out loud. There are many 'poem a day' books published, this one has excellent selections (at least for the last two months). There are more volumes in this series. This book is actually titled "A Poem A Day".

The best New Year's Resolution: to read a poem a day. In 2015, I took a little time each day to myself to slowly savor a poem. I was inspired daily by the use of language, new and interesting vocabulary, and thought-provoking content and perspective.

This was my year-long read for 2019, and while there were some treasures in here I didn't connect with a lot of the selections. Still, it was fun to have a year of poetry and find some new poets to explore.

The main thing I learned from this collection is that I prefer poetry written within my lifetime or slightly before. The main exception is the work of 17th-century poet Anne Bradstreet, who is included in this anthology and has long been one of my favorites. Even though I only gave the book two stars, I am glad I read it because it helped to confirm my taste in verse.

This book is a really great variety of poetry. It is heavy on Wordsworth, etc, but also has a nice mixture of others. I discovered a number of poems that I really loved, and, of course, there were a number that I was less than crazy for.
