Poetry is far from my area of expertise. I love to read a good poem, but I read poetry so rarely that I can hardly call myself an expert.
With Tennyson, I find I have a bit of a mixed relationship with his work. Some I really enjoy, whereas others I don’t care much for. Writing a full review for any single one of the poems within this collection is hard, as some are better than others. Just know his poetry offers up many different aspects. Whilst you will notice some similarities between them – the overuse of ‘for evermore’ for example – each poem does have an individual feel. Even if it is something as simple as being able to read it to the tune of ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat’ (I’ll leave you to work out which of the poems I’m referring to here).
Overall, a decent enough read. Some will stick with me more than others will, but overall the collection was enjoyable.

Liked some of his poems but not all. My favorites include stuff like Locksley Hall and of course Ulysses.
