| If we were to name our favorite poet of all time, it would have to be William Wordsworth. Of his many, many writings, our personal favorite is Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. A huge favorite is Amy Lowell. We first became aware of her writings after reading the incomparable Patterns. A favorite collection is the volume East Wind, and particularly the selection from it entitled "The Day That Was That Day." Another favorite is Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Her many poems, written in the late 1800's, remain powerful and of interest yet today. We must also mention James Whitcomb Riley, whose delightful, nostalgic, often humerous poetry is a joy to read. Favorites are Out to Old Aunt Mary's and Knee-Deep in June. Our favorite volume of poems is a very old one called One Hundred and One Famous Poems edited by Roy J. Cook. This book has been reprinted many times and should not be difficult to find. It is the best collection we have seen. (This section is still being developed; please join us again another time.) |
