    Must have reading for test prep.

    This has been very helpful as I prepare for the Praxis tests in English. Poetry was never my strong suit, and since I graduated over 30 years ago with a degree in English, I really needed this. I wish I had it back then! Well worth the time and money.

    What I've Been Looking For

    I've always been interested in poetry, but I often ran into obstacles. Sometimes the obstacle was simply understanding what a poem was saying. At other times, it was understanding the underlying meaning(s) and symbolism of a poem. I wish this book had existed thirty years ago. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

    Very helpful for students

    This book totally saved my life in my Literary Interpretation class at NYU. On top of that, it actually got me interested in poetry (not a small accomplishment for a bio major). The analyses of the poems are really good and helped me understand how to read poetry. Sometimes I disagreed with some things the book says, but it always makes its case very well and I think the fact that I had my own interpretations of the poems shows how helpful the book was at getting me to read poetry critically. If you're like me and just starting out with poetry, I don't think there's a better book you could read.

    A Great Introduction for Students--and Teachers

    As an English teacher, I try to keep abreast of what SparkNotes is producing. When I first saw Poetry Classics, I rolled my eyes, but from the first poet to the last, the book is full of interesting, smart, and compelling readings of great poems (as well as the poems--or selections-- themselves). I heartily recommend it for readers interested in an introduction to some of the greatest poets in the English language, be those readers students or just people interested in poetry. As for teachers: If you forget to plan a lesson one day and it's been a while since you read Donne or Dickinson, this book will get the juices flowing in no time. It's simply one of the best titles they've done.
