A review by jcampbell
The New Faber Book of Love Poems by James Fenton

lighthearted slow-paced

2.5

A collated works by James Fenton - the section is a little odd with long obscure works in favour of more memorable pieces in places. Additionally the layout made it quite dull to read (the poets are ordered alphabetically) and there is ranging disparities in terms of quantity given to a poet.  There was a noticeable lack of female poets throughout given this edition was published in 2006. 

Some good poems but a lot of drag and odd poetic choices.
