Poems That Make Grown Women Cry by Anthony Holden
4.0
A beautiful 4*
I've just reread my review [b:Poems That Make Grown Men Cry: 100 Men on the Words That Move Them|18144035|Poems That Make Grown Men Cry 100 Men on the Words That Move Them|Anthony Holden|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1398190492l/18144035._SY75_.jpg|25491362] and that review contains my true feelings and emotions towards poetry. I am not going to repeat that here but those thoughts are still true. I read this book's predecessor eight years ago and I still believe in the power of poetry. I'm still not a huge poetry reader; I will try and be better.
I love how Holden edits this anthology and the reasoning of the selection is given prior to reading the poem. It really helps understanding the context before reading. My favourite from the collection is [b:I Am|54941387|I Am|John Clare|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|85715049].
A must read for all.
