Poets' Corner: The One and Only Poetry Book for the Whole Family

Love This Book-A Must Have For Poetry Lovers!!!

This is a great book. I like the variety of selections from so many different writers. I also like that it is not always the most famous poems by a certain author. For example, The Road Not Taken is one of Robert Frost's most famous poems, but it is not the one in the book. It is refreshing to read something a little less famous, but equally as good. The CD is the perhaps the best part. While it is great to read the poem for yourself, you can often get even more out of a poem by hearing someone else read it. It is just an all-around awesome book. I am having a hard time putting its down; not that I want to.

No audio

I love the selecred works, but was so disappointed this one didnt have at leak a link where one could go listen to the audio sections. Very diappointed to not get to hear JL's timbre. Will be more careful and choose the version nexr time.

Stimulating, Thought Provoking

A must read for those who wish to contemplate life's give and take. Lithgow's inclusions not only tell us about him but ourselves as well. Our humanity is discussed in mighty detail.

A Wonderful Introduction to or Refresher Course on Poetry Classics

John Lithgow has given parents another terrific little book. For parents who need a refresher course on poets they learned about in school or for children just beginning to appreciate poetry, this little gem will be invaluable.

Treasure Trove of Poetry and Commentary

We watched Bill Moyers' interview with John Lithgow; the next week my husband gave me the book as a birthday gift. We enjoy browsing through the poems and reading them aloud. Lithgow's stories about the poets, and his critiques of the poems he has selected for this anthology, are a special part of our enjoyment.

We have been motivated to find and read aloud other poems we have loved, going back to our English and American lit courses and more contemporary sources as well.

This book is prominently displayed on our coffee table.

Wonderful collection of poetry with MP3 CD

This is a wonderful book. I absolutely love the poetry collection and listening to the MP3 CD. I can easily curl up with this book. Unfortunately, the last reviewer neglected to realize that it was an MP3 CD and not a regular CD and gave this book a bad review because they could not get the disc to work in the wrong kind of player. The disc that comes with the book is full of fabulous readings of some of the poems, and it will work in any computer or MP3 disc reader. This would be a wonderful addition to any book, or audio, collection!
