I liked this collection of poems. They're older and "Classics" so a lot of them are still written in older English that is hard to understand. But if you're looking to read something light and even if you do not like poetry, I recommend it. It's a good, quick read.

Book #70 of the EBN Challenge at my Library.
Challenge topic: A book of Poetry.

Lots of really popular poems like "The Raven" and "O Captain, My Captain" and then ones I've never heard before like "The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver." It really touched me emotionally.
