This contains most of the classic poems known and loved over the years. The “children’s section” contains little poems I hadn’t read since I was a child and I enjoyed visiting them again.
It’s fairly easy to search for a particular poem if you know a few essential words contained in it, although some searches might surprise you. I typed in “ancient mariner” and got back 4 references to the original poem, but not the poem itself, as it’s included with its archaic spelling. I had better luck when I searched for “albatross”.
Really, for this price, wouldn’t you like to keep this always on your kindle, just so you can browse through almost any type of poetry you’d like, at any time?

The Essential Poetry Anthology
I have many paper book anthologies of poetry and hoped this would allow me to carry one. However, the formatting and font is more primitive than the worst of Gutenberg, and it is impossible to search past the name of the poet. I’d pay ten times as much for the simple organization built into ordinary Kindle magazine editions, such as Atlantic or Nation. I’ll delete this one, and make sure I download a sample of everything I buy henceforth.
