Six Centuries of Great Poetry Book Review

Six Centuries of Great Poetry
edited by Robert Penn Warren and Albert Erskine
Reviewed by Valerie Harridge

I love poetry and have tried my hand at writing a little.  I mostly enjoyed reading it.  I really liked reading the first writings of poetry and reading how poetry has evolved over the centuries.  I have read a lot of poetry books and I have to say this one is one of the better ones that I have read.

It starts off with the work of Geoffrey Chaucer and goes through the centuries of William Shakespeare to ending with Wilfred Owen.  I say if you are looking for a good book of poetry to read with a cup of tea this would be it.
