Immortal Poems of the English Language by Oscar Williams
3.0
We have a bunch of books in our bookcase at work. Most of the books are classics, plays, books of poetry, argumentation, debate, and other forensics-shaped things. I found this book and decided to give it a go. I haven't read a lot of poetry and clearly wanted to read a whole bunch.
It's safe to say I hadn't read most of the poetry in this book. And a lot is lost on me. But there were some bits that I really did like (though I felt a bit odd liking Walt Whitman's poetry), and I'm overall glad I did read it. I was surprised at what was missing from the book (granted, it was printed in 1952), and it clearly represented some poets over others. Overall, fair variety.
